Phantom Rider

In the final days of World War II, Bell Features introduced the Phantom Rider, a masked Western hero who blazed through a single 1945 issue. Illustrated by René Kulbach, this lone comic stands as a brief, self-contained chapter in Canadian wartime publishing, offering a glimpse into the era's pulp-inspired adventure storytelling. Its significance lies in its rarity as a snapshot of the country's domestic comics industry before the post-war market shifted.
