☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis inaugural volume of Hermes Press's comprehensive series collects the very first daily newspaper strips of Lee Falk's legendary adventure hero, The Phantom. Spanning 1936 to 1938, it presents the earliest continuity strips in chronological order, establishing the mythos of the Ghost Who Walks in his original newspaper format.
In "The Singh Brotherhood," the Phantom races to rescue Diana Palmer after her ship is attacked and she’s taken by the secretive Singh Brotherhood to their underwater stronghold. Captured while attempting a solo rescue, he’s unexpectedly saved by Sala, a young woman with her own secrets and ties to a mysterious resistance known as the Sky Band. As the Phantom delves deeper into the Brotherhood’s web, he must navigate betrayal, hidden loyalties, and the treacherous depths of the jungle and sea.
In "The Sky Band," the Phantom is wrongly accused of aiding Sala, a fugitive who has escaped an army hospital and rejoined the all-female Sky Band on the Isle of Herons. With help from the Bandar, the Phantom races to the island to clear his name, only to be captured by the gang’s enigmatic leader, the Baroness, whose growing interest in him stirs tension within the group. As Sala is sent on a dangerous mission and ultimately betrayed, the lines between loyalty and survival blur in a jungle stronghold where the truth is as elusive as the sky itself.
In "The Diamond Hunters," the Phantom races to prevent a war between the Llongo and Osi-Wey tribes after rogue prospectors frame a neighboring group for kidnapping the Llongo chief’s daughter. With Diana Palmer on a jungle safari to find him, the Phantom must outwit Smiley, who turns traitor and takes her hostage—leading to a tense showdown where loyalty and justice are tested in the heart of the wild.
