King Comics #123

In "The Fountain of Youth," the young Phantom grapples with the double loss of his parents—his mother's passing and his father's death shortly after training him to carry on the legacy of the Ghost Who Walks. Written by Lee Falk and illustrated by Wilson McCoy, this 1946 installment blends personal grief with the weight of an immortal duty, all rendered in the distinctive style of the era. The cover by Joe Musial captures the story’s mysterious tone with a striking, atmospheric image.
