"The Goggle-Eye Pirates"
Among the many adventures that define the Phantom’s long and storied history, “The Goggle-Eye Pirates” stands out as a remarkably pure expression of what the character represents. Many thanks go to Ivan Pedersen for colouring the story. Originally crafted by creator Lee Falk and brought to life in the distinct visual style of Wilson McCoy, the 56th Phantom Sunday story revisits one of the deepest threads in Phantom lore: the hero’s centuries-old war against piracy.
"The Return", a short sequel.
In “The Return”, Paul Mason delivers a tight, energetic follow-up that respects the legacy of the original while pushing its ideas into new territory. It is a testament to the durability of Phantom lore that a half-century-old Sunday story can still inspire new adventures, ones that deepen the mythos while reminding us why these characters matter. In “The Return”…, the past surfaces once more. And as ever, the Phantom is waiting.
