The Phantom: The Complete Series: The Charlton Years #1

In "The Dying Ground," the Phantom finds himself caught between two tribes in the jungle: the Oralali, who rely on tamed elephants for labor, and the Bandai, whose livelihood depends on ivory from the wild. When the Oralali’s elephant taming disrupts the Bandai’s supply, tensions erupt, and the Phantom is captured as a sacrifice. With the help of the Bandar, he must broker a fragile peace—one that honors both traditions and the ancient journey of the elephants to the graveyard.

In "The Trap!", Diana Palmer arrives in Bengali to oversee an exhibit of local art, unaware that her presence is part of a larger plan. The Phantom, watching from the shadows, uses the event to lure out a network of art thieves, turning the exhibition into a carefully laid trap.
