The Phantom: The Complete Series: The Charlton Years #2

Pat Boyette's dynamic cover sets the tone perfectly for this 2013 Hermes Press collection of the Charlton Years: the masked Ghost Who Walks strikes an action pose at center, flanked by a sword-wielding figure and an elegantly costumed woman, while a giant ghostly visage of the Phantom looms dramatically in the background. Volume Two of this complete series gathers Joe Gill and Pat Boyette's collaboration, including the story "A Small War!," showcasing the stripped-down adventure storytelling that defined Charlton's run with the character. For fans of the purple-suited hero, this handsome hardcover is a welcome deep dive into a distinctive chapter of Phantom history.
