Collection Fantôme #[85]

In "Le Fantôme," a 1946 French comic from Editions Mondiales, Paul Gustavson writes and illustrates a gripping tale of mystery and daring at the World's Fair. When circus owner Adams accuses his rival Marco of stealing his acts, a sabotaged diving pool sets off a chain of events that leads to a hidden river beneath the fairgrounds—and a masked protector known only as Fantom of the fair. Cover by Paul Gustavson, this issue blends suspense and spectacle in a story where a single misplaced mark in the water reveals a secret world beneath the surface.
