17 new prose short stories of the Phantom! High adventure and intrigue in the African jungle, on the high seas, and in the city! There is always justice that needs to be served, whether it's in the present...or the past. Nearly five centuries ago, during a daring raid at sea, pirates took the life of merchant ship captain Christopher Standish. In the heat of the pitched battle aboard the ship, Standish¹s son was knocked overboard to wash ashore on a remote beach where he was found by a friendly pygmy tribe. After stumbling upon the body of his father¹s killer, young Standish swore an oath on the murderer¹s skull to devote his life, and the lives of his sons and their sons, to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice. To the outside world, this man, seemingly immortal, has always worn the mask. As the legend grew, it transcended the life of any one mortal. And that legend became The Phantom.
Interior illustrations by Disney sculptor extraordinaire Ruben Procopio! And an introduction by The Phantom creator Lee Falk's daughter Valerie!
240 pages, $15.95 (Limited edition hardcover, $36.95).
