In "The Phantom Strikes," Torch and Toro chase a killer across the globe, following a trail that leads from a murdered agent to the streets of Istanbul. With the help of a mysterious figure draped in a Yashmak, they uncover a Nazi plot to manipulate the masses by posing as a prophetess—using the veil as both disguise and weapon. Art by Harry Sahle brings the wartime intrigue to life, while Alex Schomburg’s cover captures the danger and mystery of the mission.
