Phantom#64
March 1975
Charlton Comics
Cover: Frank Bolle
Script: Joe Gill
Pencils/Inks: Frank Bolle
Apparently, Charlton's "New Look" for The Phantom wasn't very popular, because it was gone by issue #64. Charlton chose Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom artist Frank Bolle to draw this story, which was written by Captain Atom scribe, Joe Gill. The cover of this issue, also by Bolle, makes me think of Doug Wildey's work on Jonny Quest which, with it's far off locales and classic sense of adventure is not the worst take one could have on The Phantom. Without further ado, enjoy "Duel With Death" and I'll have a few comments at the end.
An observation: It seems weird to me that a guy who only uses his guns to shoot other people's guns from their hands would own a fighter plane. It also seems like a shame that, if the Phantom were to own his own fighter jet, it wouldn't be an F-4 Phantom.
