Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the "granddaddy of all costumed superheroes," The Phantom was created in 1936 by Lee Falk. The strip hit the funny pages of newspapers well before the Dark Knight or Superman made their first appearances and has been acknowledged as an influence on every "masked man of mystery" since. The Phantom set the standard for action, adventure, intrigue, and romance in adventure comic strips and comic books -- it has frequently been copied but never equaled.

This exciting 10th volume of the full color Sundays continues the SY BARRY YEARS! Thirteen complete continuities drawn by Sy himself which continue the adventures of The Phantom, Diana, and his two children. This volume starts with "Alexander's Diamond Cup" from September 20, 1970 and concludes with "Tale of Joomba" which concludes on December 29, 1974. Also included is a comprehensive essay and documentary materials.
