The Phantom (comic strip)

The Phantom is an adventure comic strip created by Lee Falk, which began as a daily newspaper strip on February 17, 1936. Its hero, known as the Ghost Who Walks, operates from the jungle of the fictional African country of Bangalla and is the 21st in a line of crime-fighters who pass down the role. The Phantom was the first fictional hero to wear the skintight costume later common in superhero comics. The strip is still running, and Hermes Press has reprinted the daily strips in a series of volumes.
