The Phantom #12
In "Architecture, Number 3: The Babylonians," The Phantom takes a dramatic turn as Track Hunter and his father face a deadly escape during a shipment of animals—when a rampaging gorilla claims the father’s life. With the help of Oloo and a mysterious gem that grants control over white apes, Track finds a new purpose: swapping the hunt for exploration, embarking on safaris into the unknown to uncover hidden truths. Bill Lignante’s dynamic art and Ben Oda’s crisp lettering bring this pivotal moment to life, while George Wilson’s cover captures the tension and mystery of the jungle’s secrets.
In "The Beast of Bengali," the Phantom confronts the enigmatic Baron of Bengali, a cunning figure who rules the jungle through staged wonders—trained animals and eerie ventriloquism that make him seem supernatural. With Guran at his side and the help of Chief Fauno, the Ghost Who Walks outmaneuvers the Baron’s illusions, turning his own tricks against him in a battle of wits and strength.
Track Hunter and his father are transporting animals when a gorilla breaks free, resulting in tragedy. Oloo arrives with a mysterious gem that lets him command white apes, and after the crisis, he and Track Hunter forge a new path—leaving behind hunting for safaris into the unknown, driven by mystery and discovery.
