Fantomet #5/1989

In "Fantomet i lenker," the Phantom, weary from mediating endless feuds, considers stepping back—until Elderly Wuru shares a powerful tale from the past. Flashing back to when Maude Thorn McPatrick was captured by a cruel prince, the story reveals how the Phantom’s father-to-be endured endless labor, chained to a pump, until he broke free through patience and resolve. Inspired by that legacy, the Phantom returns to the fray, using the lesson of endurance to finally restore peace between the warring Llongo-stammen and Wambesi-stammen.
