The Phantom #6
In "Peoples of Africa, Number 15: The Watusi," The Phantom—known here as Kit—navigates a tense reunion with his family after living among the Watusi, where his time in the jungle has changed him in ways his relatives don’t understand. Written by Bill Harris and illustrated by Bill Lignante, with lettering by Ben Oda, this 1964 Western Comics issue captures Kit’s struggle to reconcile his past with his new life, as he faces both familial skepticism and the challenges of school. The cover by George Wilson vividly captures the moment’s tension and cultural contrast.
