Phantom#69 February, 1976 Charlton Comics Cover: Don Newton Script: Joe Gill Pencils/Inks: Studio Recreo
Although Don Newton did the painted cover for this issue, the art chores for the interior were left to Studio Recreo of Barcelona, Spain. I have been unable to learn which artists did this issue in particular. Studio Recreo did a lot of work for Disney comics in Europe.
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!!"
