Fantoman

A short-lived but historically notable Golden Age series from Centaur Publications, Fantoman ran for just three issues in 1940. The character was defined by the work of writer-artists Paul Gustavson and Carl Burgos, who brought a dark, vigilante energy to the strip. Though brief, the series stands as a curious early example of the costumed hero boom, capturing the raw, experimental spirit of superhero comics before the genre fully codified its conventions.
