The Phantom: The Complete Sundays #4
In "The Mysterious Passenger," The Phantom recounts a tale from his family's past, where his twin sister Julie temporarily took up the mantle after their ancestor fell ill. With the jungle's peace at stake, Julie disguised herself as the Phantom and outwitted a gang of crooks who sought the treasure hidden in the Deep Woods—only to face a deadly trap when they ignored her warnings. Written by Dick Wood and illustrated by Bill Lignante, with lettering by Ray Holloway, this story captures a quiet moment of courage and sacrifice. The cover, by Wilson McCoy, evokes the classic mystery of the series.

In a story frame, The Phantom tells Diana of how one of his ancestors became ill. Fearing that the Phantom's absence would threaten jungle peace, his twin sister, Julie, took his place very successfully, but, at last, crooks discovered that she was "only" a girl. They tracked her to the Deep Woods and made away with some of the Phantom treasure. She recovers the treasure, but the crooks lose their lives in a waterfall through rejecting her instructions. Her brother never realizes her ruse.
