"The Web of Fear" sees the Phantom of 1776 journey to America to free Tsu-Mok, the son of the U-Thongii Chief, from slavery. Along the way, he crosses paths with his old friend Benjamin Franklin and bears witness to the historic signing of the Declaration of Independence. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered by Don Newton, this issue features cover art by Newton as well, capturing the era’s intensity with his distinctive style.
When Colonel Worobu seeks the Phantom’s aid to rescue a stranded scientist from a treacherous, uncharted mountain, the jungle’s greatest protector agrees—though the climb may be as dangerous as the mystery that lies at its peak. With Guran at his side and the weight of a lost expedition on his shoulders, the Phantom ventures into the wild heart of Zanadar, where ancient legends and unseen dangers await.
In "The Phantom of 1776," the 11th Phantom journeys to revolutionary America to rescue Tsu-Mok, the son of the U-Thongii chief, from slavery, forging an unlikely alliance with Benjamin Franklin. Amid the rising tide of independence, the masked hero witnesses the signing of the Declaration of Independence, navigating a world where freedom is being born even as others are still bound.
