The Phantom #4
In "Physical Fitness, Number 4: Chest and Trunk Builder," the Phantom faces a new kind of threat when witchmen, enraged by their loss of influence, turn their wrath on Dr. Axel’s hospital. Using the ancient idol Oogooru and cunning tricks, they launch a campaign of intimidation, but the Phantom, aided by a Jungle Patrol helicopter, outsmarts them in a tense showdown. Written by Bill Harris and illustrated by Bill Lignante with inks by Lignante, and featuring a cover by George Wilson, this 1963 Western Comics issue blends action and suspense in a story where courage and strategy prevail.
In "Oogooru," the Phantom faces a sinister threat when witchmen, enraged by their loss of influence, unleash ancient fears by uncovering the idol Oogooru to terrorize Dr. Axel’s hospital and undermine his work. With the aid of the Jungle Patrol and a clever ruse involving the jungle’s hidden dangers, the Phantom turns the witchmen’s tricks against them, protecting the hospital and restoring order to the region.
In "All That Glitters," Victor King, Francis Queen, and Jack Hawkins follow a treasure map they’ve spent a fortune on, diving into a jungle pool to uncover a hidden chest. What they find inside isn’t gold or jewels, but a mocking note from the very people who sold them the map.
In "The Goggle-Eye Pirates," the Phantom uncovers a clever scheme where a band of pirates infiltrates cruise ships disguised as passengers, using elaborate head-to-toe coverings to prey on unsuspecting travelers. With sharp instincts and a flair for deception, he slips into their ranks, turning their own disguise game against them as he takes down the crew one by one.
