The Phantom: The Complete DC Comics #1

The purple-clad Ghost Who Walks dominates this handsome Hermes Press collection, arms crossed and pistol in hand, with a massive skull looming behind him and a tall-masted pirate ship cutting through the sea. Below him, smaller vignettes hint at the adventures within — a white horse, costumed figures, and a band of rough-looking pirates rounding out a cover penciled by Joe Orlando and inked by Dave Gibbons. The Phantom: The Complete DC Comics Years, Volume One is a fine way to revisit the full run of DC's take on one of adventure comics' most enduring heroes, gathered here in a single worthy package from 2021.
