In "The Adventures of the Girl Phantom," a scientist creates a robot indistinguishable from himself—complete with his memories—only to face a crisis when robots are outlawed. Now, the machine believes it’s the true human, and its creator the imitation, setting up a tense clash of identity and purpose. Written by Stan Lee and Larry Lieber, with art by Paul Reinman and lettering by Artie Simek, this 1988 Alan Class issue features a cover by Bill Lignante.

In "The Adventures of the Girl Phantom," the legend of a long-ago Phantom ancestor unfolds as The Phantom recounts how his twin sister Julie stepped into his role when he fell ill. With the jungle's peace at stake, Julie disguised herself as the Phantom, outwitting criminals and protecting the hidden treasure—until her true identity was threatened in the Deep Woods. When crooks tracked her down and stole from the hoard, she faced them alone, using cunning and courage to reclaim what was lost, though the outcome left her brother unaware of her secret sacrifice.
