“Guns”

Lee Falk's purple-clad "Ghost Who Walks" arrives at DC in this 1989 series launch, with the Phantom seated powerfully on a stone throne, skull decorations flanking him on either side and mist curling at his feet. Mark Verheiden and Luke McDonnell bring a muscular, commanding presence to the character, and McDonnell's cover art makes it clear this is a hero who rules his domain with quiet authority. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Bengalla's greatest protector, this opening chapter — "Guns" — promises the kind of classic adventure the cover confidently delivers.
