Will one of his Daughters take over when the current Phantom takes a bow ? There is a lot of potential there; hope they don't ruin a great opportunity.
Lysdexicus: The Phantom's children are twins, a boy (Kit) and a girl (Heloise). Even though Heloise was (I believe) born first, Kit is next in line to be the Phantom. As far as I know, Julie Walker, the current Phantom's great-great aunt is the only example of a female Phantom.
More fantastic stuff from Newton. That one page is such a superb action page (page 19 numbered in corner). Wow, is Newton's Phantom a nice surprise. -- Mykal
These last two posts with Newton art are really awesome! I think he is my favorite Phantom artist so far. Sigh... ...now I have to seek out and buy MORE old comics!
Mykal: Yeah P.19 has it all, a horse, Nazi's, dynamite...
Michael: Newton is pretty spectacular. You should check out the website "The Art of Don Newton" it's listed in my "Bangalla Board of Tourism" to the right.
This, while not the first Phantom comic I ever read, was the first comic ever to engage me emotionally! The storytelling and Don Newton's impeccable artwork combine to tell the touching tale of a son's loss of his father, as well as his inheritance of his family's mantle. I'd have to say this is probably my favourite Phantom comic ever!
Thanks for posting this and giving me a lovely stroll down memory lane!
Before there was Superman or Batman or Spider-Man, there was The Phantom. Playwright and cartoonist Lee Falk introduced The Phantom to the world in 1936.
Since then, The Phantom has run continuously in newspapers around the world, gaining a following in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia and New Zealand. He has spawned films adaptations, paperback novels, an animated television show and several comic book series.
I have been drawn to the Phantom by his unique backstory-one of the best in sequential media. This blog will let me share with others the exciting world of "The Ghost Who Walks, Who Cannot Die...The Phantom!!"
