The Phantom

From 1966 to 1967, King Features brought Lee Falk’s classic jungle hero to newsstands with an 11-issue series that offered a fresh take on the Ghost Who Walks. Writers Dick Wood, Bill Harris, and Giovanni Fiorentini, alongside artists Bill Lignante, Ric Estrada, and Senio Pratesi, delivered a mix of adventure and mystery that expanded the Phantom’s world beyond the daily strips. This short-lived but vibrant run stands as a key mid-60s moment for the character, bridging his newspaper origins with the era’s comic-book storytelling.
