King: The Phantom #1

Dynamite's 2015 launch of King: The Phantom #1 brings the Ghost Who Walks roaring back, and Darwyn Cooke's cover sets the tone beautifully — the purple-suited Phantom crouches low in a lush jungle, pistol in hand, with an enormous skull looming ominously in the shadowy background. The cover also promises a guest starring role from Mandrake the Magician, making this opener feel like a genuine event for fans of classic King Features adventure heroes. Writer Brian Clevinger and artist Brent Schoonover are along for the ride, and with a cover this atmospheric, the interior has a lot to live up to.
