No wait.. it's gotta be Doug Klauba

I'd love to see DK back. He set the standard for Phantom covers. But I'll throw my hat into the ring and say Gabriel Rearte.

Nope, not me.
(Thanks for the thought and kind words).

Well, I'm out of ideas

And my issue still hasn't arrived in the mail yet

My copy arrived today but I havent got time to read it yet. The art looks good, but the colors are a little to dark. I will return with my two cents later...

I finally got to read #14 today and I must say, it was very good
First of, the cover by the team of JOE PRADO, CARLOS MAGNO and ROD REIS is very good, very mysterious! The interior art from Carlos Magno looked very nice and the colours from Bob Pedroza were nice and clean. Scriptwise, the stort moves at a lightning speed and I loved the the little references here and there which paid tribute to old Lee Falk stories like "The Childhood of the Phantom" [The "Heh..No, ma'am Guran isn't with me" must surely be a tribute to Childhood of the Phantom??] Plus there are a few Jungle Sayings thrown in there for good measure!! It hasn't taken Mike to hit his stride with this book

Looking forward to #15!! And I just hope it starts where this story left off

Finally read the issue! Well done to everyone involved, it was a tops read. The only real thing that bothered me is that the printing seems rather, well, dull. I don't know if it's the kind of paper used, the ink the book is printed with or the colourists job (but I don't think it's that) but everything looks really dull and dark. Some frames I was struggling a bit to see the action.

Other than that, brilliant issue!

Coming a bit late in the game with this one.

It can be viewed as a good step in a long and challenging journey. But Moonstone definitely seems up to a good challenge.

I re-read the excellent two-parter Walker's Line yesterday, and it made me realize just what a huge amount of untapped potential there must be in stories connected to Kit Walker's past in the US as well as his youth in the jungle. Although he was obviously not crime fighting or wearing tights back then, I can't help thinking that there's lots of stories just waiting to be told about Kit, his respect for and friendship with his father, and so on.
