The Return of the Black Phantom

In 2002, AC Comics revived one of their Golden Age heroes with The Return of the Black Phantom, a single-issue one-shot that reimagined the classic, masked vigilante for a modern audience. Written and drawn by longtime AC stalwart Mark Heike, this issue stands as a brief but notable nod to the publisher's dedication to preserving and updating their vintage character roster. It's a compact, self-contained story that matters as a small but faithful piece of AC's ongoing legacy in independent comics.
