The Phantom #2

Part two of DC's four-issue mini-series brings Lee Falk's purple-clad Ghost Who Walks charging through a jungle stream on his white stallion, pistol raised and ready, with his black wolf bounding alongside through the splashing water. Armed pursuers lurk at the forest's edge behind him, lending the cover — rendered by Joe Orlando and inked by Dave Gibbons — a genuine sense of chase and adventure. If this 1988 series is your introduction to the Phantom, it's a fine place to start.
