Phantom of Fear City

Claypool Comics’ Phantom of Fear City ran for twelve issues from 1993 to 1995, a supernatural crime series written primarily by Steve Englehart. With a moody visual tone set by artists Nick Choles, John Heebink, and Matt Haley, the book followed a spectral vigilante haunting the streets of a gritty, fictional metropolis. It stands as a distinctive, creator-driven take on the urban avenger archetype from the early ’90s independent boom.
