In "The Secret of Magic Mountain [Part One]," the Phantom and his ally Guran race against time to defuse a volcanic threat, only to be thrown into a web of deception when the tribe begins hearing the voice of the dead Kiyanga—commanding them to kill the false Phantom. With the mountain about to erupt, the Phantom sets the charges and barely escapes, but Tuluck seizes the moment of silence to manipulate his people into following him into the mountain, unaware that the Phantom is already waiting—disguised as the very spirit they believe in. Written by Dick Wood and illustrated by Bill Lignante, with a striking cover by Sy Barry, this 1967 adventure blends suspense and tribal intrigue in a pivotal chapter of the series.
