The Phantom: The Complete Newspaper Dailies Vol. 24: 1973-1974
The critically acclaimed, best selling complete reprint of The Phantom continues!?Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the "granddaddy of all costumed superheroes," The Phantom was created in 1936 by Lee Falk.

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. This exciting 24th volume continues the SY BARRY YEARS!
