The Phantom vs. The Sky Band
Following up events from the recent Phantom comic, our hero has tracked down the members of the Sky Bound (a group of mercenary pilots who helped the Singh Brotherhood infiltrate his jungle) one-by-one, leaving them forever marked by the Skull Ring, eventually leading him to the final two members of the group, including their leader and the least evil of the team who the hero turns, to a secret mountain fortress far away from the comforts of home.
Despite the heavier price-tag for a single comic, I like this one-issue format (a lost art in comics these days). You won't have to have read the previous arc to follow the story here which is presented with the final leg of the Phantom's journey stopping at times to show how the hero dealt with the other mercenaries. In the end, the Phantom returns home victorious (although Diana does offers some skepticism about her beau choosing to leave Sala be suggesting, perhaps, we haven't seen the last of her).
