The Phantom Stranger #3

Sep 1969 · DC · 0.15 USD
“Chapter 1: How Do You Know My Name?”

In "Chapter 1: How Do You Know My Name?", the enigmatic Phantom Stranger arrives at a shuttered amusement park, where he confronts a fresh mystery: the body of a guard found under strange circumstances. As he questions young Jody and his friends, he reveals a decade-old secret—his past confrontation with the fraudulent seer Vasti, who once tried to scare away visitors to steal the park from its owner, Cahill. Now, with Jody’s parents involved in a new investigation with the mysterious Ghost Breaker, the Stranger’s presence feels less like coincidence and more like a long-overdue reckoning. Written by Mike Friedrich and John Broome, with art by Bill Draut and Jerry Grandenetti, and a cover by Neal Adams, this 1969 issue blends eerie atmosphere with a lingering sense of unresolved history.

The Phantom Stranger talks with young Jody and his pals as he investigates the body of a guard at an amusement park. He tells them of an incident ten years ago at the park where he exposed and captured the seer Vasti as he tried to convince patrons and owner Cahill that the park was haunted, hoping he could then buy the park cheap. Jody tells the Phantom Stranger that his parents, the park's owners, is talking with the Ghost Breaker about the recent accidents plaguing the park once again.
