About The Phantom
Created by Lee Falk in 1936, The Phantom is a classic comic strip turned global phenomenon featuring the first masked superhero. When the sole survivor of a pirate attack washed upon the shores of Bangalla, a fictional country off the east Coast of Africa, The Phantom was born. Dedicating his life to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice, this legacy was passed down through generations. Over time, there arose a legend of The Ghost Who Walks, a hero who cannot die. Since his debut, The Phantom has the distinction of being one of the few adventure strips in continuous syndication. With over 60 years of publishing, animated TV series adaptations, a feature film, and a loyal legion for fans across the globe, The Phantom still strikes fear into the hearts of even the most hardened criminals.
