Reimerthi's script is not only clever, but fast moving and Lindahl has captured the essence of the story with his innovative use of panel designs, duo-tone and offbeat angles which stress the sea action and the weird landscape of Bird of Prey Island. Aspiring comics and commercial artists should study his techniques, because some of his stormy ocean scenes and perspective shots on Bird of Prey Island are absolutely brilliant. Take a good look at Aunt Maggie if you are endeavoring  to create a comics villain! Have you ever seen a more evil female character than Maggie?\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOur second new story is the the most recent Sunday adventure, \"The Iron Python\", there are touches of an old Lee Falk story in this adventure. See if you can spot it.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe two golden oldie stories are \"Swamp Dragon\" and \"The Hunters\" both created by Lee Falk and Sy Barry in the period 1976 to 77. Both have been out of print for some time and both have been reproduced from the original masters so for the first time they appear in their entirety and in far better quality than in previous impressions.

It first appeared as a Sunday story in 1952 and at the time was a very brave step by Lee! At that time, The Phantom was well established internationally as the ultimate man….an athlete and fighting machine who did indeed seem immortal and totally without fear. For Lee to bring in a twin sister who was his equal in so many ways, but especially in the use of firearms—as the story stresses—and almost as physically strong, may have appealed to women of the time who were pushing the equal opportunity barrow, but may have upset dedicated male Phantom fans! It’s interesting in hindsight to reflect that Lee never included twin sister Julie in another story!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Belt\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e appeared as a Sunday adventure in 1954 and remains one of Lee’s best-loved stories, It is one of the very few Lee Falk stories which vividly depicts the death of a Phantom and possibly for that reason alone, has attained special popularity with dedicated fans.

It is known that Dorothy, his wife, helped him with layouts and also lettered both strip for a number of years, but if he had other artists helping him with pencilling and inking, their identities have been lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new daily and Sunday adventures are poles apart in subject matter!

Lee Falk builds the story around the legend of the first Phantom challenging the winner of an inter-tribe wrestling competition with the victor ruling the jungle for the following 12 months, It’s worth pointing out here that before the emergence of The Phantom, the wrestling competition was already an institution in the jungle with the final event battled to the death. The first Phantom brought an end to this barbaric practice! Naturally enough, The Phantom, with his strength and athletic ability, never loses and the legend gathers more power each year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil this year, when the 21st Phantom is tricked and doped into unexpected defeat. Lee, as you will discover, staked a lot on his skills as a story-teller to get The Phantom out of a hole. Another loss in the re-match—and the saga of The Phantom could have well ended with this cleverly scripted adventure! Look for something unusual within the Skull Cave! The tombs of all The Phantom’s forefathers are marked not with dates—but the famous skull mark! Lee was still busy fine-tuning the quite complicated Legend of The Phantom and in following years, many more segments of the Legend were to be added!

If you are new to The Phantom fold, the name Crocco may not mean much. Let me explain that ‘Croccos’ are best described as creatures and while no definitive explanation for their existence has ever been offered, it seems they are humans who returned to the sea and developed fish-like characteristics. The Crocco creatures were not inventions of Lee Falk. That honour, interestingly, falls to Tony DePaul who wrote a Phantom adventure for a \u003ci\u003eFantomen\u003c\/i\u003e comic book originally published  in Scandinavia in 1997 called \u003ci\u003eThe Mystery of Crocco Island\u003c\/i\u003e.

This was a Sunday newspaper strip and it is our first publication of the story in its entirety. I found it particularly rewarding to have Kit and Heloise on an adventure with their father as they set out to Iceland to set straight a previously unresolved injustice. There is a charming sense of  family warmth in the relationship between the three as they fly to Iceland to search for treasure and truth.\n\u003cp\u003eThe second of our new stories \u003ci\u003eJohn X \u003c\/i\u003eis another by Tony DePaul and on this occasion art was drawn by Paul Ryan. This was a daily newspaper strip that ran for much longer than most from 25.08.2014- 09.05.2015. It comes together very well as a completed story. The Phantom is grievously injured early on and we find ourselves taken on the ride as he teeters close to death and then struggles with rehabilitation and the loss of identity caused by amnesia. Devil the faithful mountain wolf as ever is by his side and the family never give up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis true heroic nature is not diminished or suppressed by memory loss! Even time spent with the jungle patrol can’t seem to jog that past free in his mind. He’s physically remarkable, a natural leader of men and is swooned over by the woman he encounters, all the while completely unaware that he has a life and home to return to. Will he fully recover and ever be The Phantom again? What will it take to jolt him back to full recovery?

Prior to this story female gangs appeared in The Sky Band 1936-37, The Golden Circle 1939-40, The Return of Sky Band 1941-42, The Mermaid’s of Melo Straits 1945-46 and then The Lady Luck from 1948. We hope that you will enjoy revisiting these classic Lee Falk re-creations. Team Fantomen did quite a few of these and they showcase Felmang’s art at what I believe may have been the zenith of his creativity. That is not to say that his extraordinary feel for the Phantom story has diminished. He is still producing superb work today, some of which we will be bringing to you later this year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #7f3fd0;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe now offer this as a physical paper comic or as a digital comic.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlease be aware that\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eif choosing a Digital Comics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003efrom the dropdown menu below they are for private usage only!

Lily Palmer, Diana’s mother was never totally comfortable with her daughters choice of a man who lived his life in a distant jungle.\u003cbr\u003eThe notion of a him as a suitable candidate for Diana was a cause for great motherly concern. Living with a purple clad hero in a jungle Skull Cave wasn’t really what Lily had hoped for her daughter’s future. Nonetheless, when pressed by the Phantom for her permission to marry Diana, she acquiesced through a veil of tears.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eShe is clearly impressed by the cavalcade of prominent guests that attend the wedding ceremony and softens her position over time. I am quietly confident that for those of you whom we lovingly refer to as Falkists, there will be little to disappoint in this Ruby Anniversary celebration!\u003cbr\u003eYou know who you are! It is our intention to choose stories that document the significant milestones in the lengthy history of friendship and courtship between the dynamic couple. Where better to start than at their first meeting?
