THE PHANTOM The Complete Newspaper Dailies Volume 31 1984-1986

This exciting 31st volume continues the Sy Barry years! Five complete continuities drawn by Sy himself continue the adventures of The Phantom, Diana, and his two children: "The Embassy Siege," "The Presidents," "Drug Busters," "The Lake Lady," and "The Ruler of Baronkhon." A sultry blonde goddess thinks The Phantom is a fellow thief and wants to recruit him. Diana is kidnapped and the Phantom is unforgiving as he attacks those responsible. Also included is a comprehensive essay and documentary materials. Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the "granddaddy of all costumed superheroes," The Phantom set the standard for action, adventure, intrigue, and romance in adventure comic strips and comic books -- it has frequently been copied but never equaled.
