The Ghost walks again! The Phantom returns! Created by Lee Falks in 1936, the Phantom is one of the first costumed super heroes in history, with untold influence on pop culture. Now, critically-acclaimed creators Ray Fawkes and Russell Olson revive the character for fans old and new. When a violent gang of smugglers stubbles on an idyllic Bandar village, the peace that the Phantom has brought to the African nation of Bangalla will suddenly shatter. It will take all of the Phantom’s many skills and allies to restore it. The most exciting series of the year starts here!
The Phantom volume 1 will be published on July 14, 2026. Mad Cave Studios provided an early galley for review.
First off, that cover by Freddie Williams II is incredible. It jumps right out at me. If I saw this on a shelf, it would be hard to resist.
The book itself takes me right back to the days of reading the Phantom in the Sunday comics page growing up. The artwork, the inking and the colors all contribute to that classic vibe that is perfect for a series like this one.
And that is a key phrase here: vibe. The creative team has done an amazing job capturing the spirit and essence of what made the Phantom stories so engaging.
