Phantom Phan

Just a Phan with a ridiculously large collection of Frew Phantom comics.
Actually, if we could get a "Treehouse of Horror"-style issue every year, I'd be a very happy camper.

Another Dragon?
After hearing reports of a “dragon” sighting near where Steggy was found, the Phantom heads to the island to investigate. A one-note story that felt unnecessary. The ending was slightly amusing, I guess, even if I expected it.

The Killer and the Ghost Pt 2
The Phantom and Niki Leung realise that Thai Lo doesn’t want revenge; he wants to stop the Phantom finding a cocaine factory. One can’t help but admire Niki, since she knows how to get the job done. Both parts of this story have been excellent.

I Chop It Down with the Edge of my Hand (The Phantom: Vietnam Chp 12)
The Phantom recovers in a village and discovers that he isn’t the only Walker to visit. Just when I think Mason might run out of ideas for this series, he delivers this brilliant chapter. Bonus Julie!

The Killer and the Ghost Pt 1
Thai Lo (AKA 21) wants revenge on the Phantom and sends Niki Leung, a retired hitwoman, to deal with him. I love a good bar brawl. I also love interesting guest characters. Combine these elements and you’re going to have a great time.

I'm sure I will, as Julie is my greatest weakness 😅

Fury Pt 2
Only slightly hampered by her age, Julie continues to seek revenge and ruminates on what led her to take action. I am loving this story so far. It’s an excellent blend of the past and present. And despite being short, this part had quite the impact on me.

The Tomb of Zadak
A Nazi arrives in Bangalla and mounts an expedition to find a shaman’s tomb, in the hopes of procuring a magical bag. Utterly average and utterly unremarkable. It follows tired paths that other stories have already tread — many, many times before.

The Chain (2024)
The Phantom recounts a dream he had, then deals with some crooks in the jungle (with Kit’s help). Ooh. I’m conflicted. While I agree that the original story doesn’t jive with today’s Phantom, this sets a troubling precedent for retconning. No story is safe!

The Chain (1953)
Rpt. When the Phantom wants to quit, the Bandar Woru tells him about a time in his father’s past when patience won the day. This story is memorable and shows us an important event, but I’m not sure it deserved the glowing review I previously gave it.

The Return of the Golden Circle Pt 4
The Phantom tangles with the Golden Circle and triumphs. Then he delivers a happy ending. You couldn’t ask for more from this conclusion. It has all the action you could want, wraps everything up neatly, and leaves you with a smile.
