The Phantom #1
Originally created nearly 90 years ago, the Phantom gets a new lease on live in this new series from Mad Cave Studios. All the pieces of the classic character are included here as we see Kit Walker protecting the jungle and verbally sparring with Diana Palmer in-between action. The first issue also takes to the time to show how the Phantom is part of the local community, not only as their protector but a loyal friend.
The comic doesn't make changes to the classic look of the character, no unnecessary refreshes here, and has the same kind of swashbuckling adventure you would expect in a Phantom comic. New trouble arises with the crash of an airplane in the jungle and those that come looking for the drugs that were being smuggled within. Leading the group is Asif Singh who, now that he knows about this hidden village, decides to place it under his "protection." It seems our hero's work is just beginning.
