Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the “granddaddy of all costumed superheroes,” The Phantom was created in 1936 by Lee Falk. The strip hit the funny pages of newspapers well before the Dark Knight or Superman made their first appearances and has been acknowledged as an influence on every “masked man of mystery” since. The Phantom set the standard for action, adventure, intrigue, and romance in adventure comic strips and comic books - it has frequently been copied but never equaled. This exciting 28th volume continues the SY BARRY YEARS! Reprinted in all its black and white glory, journey with Hermes Press as we bring you five complete continuities drawn by Sy himself: “The Heirs,” “Jungle Gold,” “The Return of General Bababu,” “The Tree House,” and “The Poachers.” Strips from this issue are taken directly from King Feature’s proofs. Included in the volume is a comprehensive essay and documentary materials. Review: parfait - parfait Review: Parfait - Merci livre neuf à très bon prix et livrer très rapidement très bon vendeur

Great book, awful service.
The book is five stars, both regarding content and quality of the printed book itself. Amazon, however, yet again shows complete contempt for their customers and still can't ship a single product without it being damaged during delivery. The book arrived severely damaged, which is made all the more tragic considering the care Hermes Press put into making Sy Barry's highly entertaining works available in the best possible quality.

PHANTOM MARRIED DIANA AND THE FRUITS OF THEIR LANDED SOON
Hermes Press is providing us with an opportunity to travel back in time to visit our younger days, when the World was quite different. In 1978, Morarji Desai was the Prime Minister of India while Jimmy Carter was the Man in White House.Today, as I pen down these lines in August 2023, Sri Narendra Modi is the Prime Minister of India while the Old but wise Joe Biden is holding his fort in the White House. Phantom has also changed drastically .Phantom comics are still popular but in comparison to 40 years ago, Phantom has witnessed dramatic decline in the number of his admirers.Phantom is now more tolerant of foreign cultures and is no longer the Salesman for Missionary zeal. Diana almost got killed by the Author and has morphed into a less attractive character while Kit and Heloise have crossed continents to get higher education and jobs. With the demise of Lee Falk , more than 2 decades back, Phantom was bound to change.However, Phantom has been trying hard to get out of the traditional African tone in the initial days of the Comics and adopt to the rapid globalization. Hopefully, the next Edition will continue to cater to our Nostalgic feelings , so that we can look back in delight to the period when Phantom married and made love the beautiful Diana. Waiting for the next Edition.
