The Phantom #[3]
In "The Shark's Nest," the Phantom answers a distress call from a mysterious vessel known as the Shark's Nest, only to find it's a pirate ship led by the ruthless Baron Grover. Written by Lee Falk and illustrated by Ray Moore in a strikingly detailed interior and cover, this 1999 Pacific Comics Club and JAL release sees the Ghost Who Walks outmaneuver a fleet of pirates in a tense game of cat and mouse, all while the cover by Ray Moore captures the moment the Phantom first steps onto the enemy deck.

The Phantom sneaks aboard the Shark's Nest. He is captured, then escapes. The pirates flee to their base to avoid a government patrol. They again capture the Phantom, who escapes, notifies the government vessel, then returns to captivity to delay/distract the pirates till the marines arrive.
