Lee Falk’s Mandrake the Magician and The Phantom in one comic for the first time!

When a botanist is thrown from a high-rise window in NYC, the murderer’s trail leads Mandrake and Lothar to the far away jungles of Bangalla, where it’s up to them and The Phantom to find the killers. But the plot they uncover is far more sinister than cold blooded murder. Can they stop the killers before they strike again or will our heroes become the next victims? By Mike Bullock and (“New Warriors”) Kevin Grevioux!

This book looks as good as anything coming out of the Big Two, and it reads better than most of it." – Comixtreme

The Phantom may be decades old but his stories continue to be fresh, relevant and exciting.” – Broken Frontier
So how can a general fan like us get all three covers?
Moonstone's on-line store usually sell all the variant covers so I am assuming they will be doing the same thing here.
Here are the 3 covers in all there greatness...

Pat Quinn.



Leonardo Manco (I'm going to assume anyways...)



And of course Nick Derington.



I might just have to get all 3 as they all look great Grin
Those are awesome!
I love all the covers, but Manco's and Derington's are the best for me. I consider buying them both.
I like the way the Manco cover announces that Mandrake makes an appearance by having his own logo on the cover.

Quinn and Derington both needs to draw the Phantom again for a comic book as soon as possible! With Mike mentioning more upcoming big projects outside the regular series, my fingers are crossed for this being a possibility.
They're all good, but Derington's B&W just edges out the other two.

How about selling all three as a poster?
