Published by DC Comics in March 1989, The Phantom #1 marks the debut issue of DC's acclaimed revival of Lee Falk's legendary jungle hero. Written by Mark Verheiden with artwork and cover by Luke McDonnell, the series modernized one of comics' longest-running adventure icons while remaining faithful to the rich mythology that began in newspaper strips in 1936. This first issue introduces readers to the latest incarnation of the Ghost Who Walks and launched one of DC's most respected late-1980s adventure titles.
