The Phantom is a long-running American adventure comic strip, first published by Mandrake the Magician creator Lee Falk in February 1936. The main character, the Phantom, is a fictional costumed crime-fighter who operates from the fictional African country of Bangalla. The character has been adapted for television, film and video games.
The series began with a daily newspaper strip on February 17, 1936, followed by a color Sunday strip on May 28, 1939; both are still running as of 2015. At its peak, the strip was read by over 100 million people daily.
Falk worked on The Phantom until his death in 1999; the comic strip is currently written by Tony DePaul and drawn by Paul Ryan (Monday-Saturday) and Terry Beatty (Sunday). Previous artists on the newspaper strip include Ray Moore, Wilson McCoy, Bill Lignante, Sy Barry, George Olesen, Keith Williams, Fred Fredericks, Graham Nolan and Eduardo Barreto. 
New Phantom stories are published in comic book format by Dynamite Entertainment and Hermes Press in the United States and Frew Publications in Australia. In the strip, the Phantom is 21st in a line of crime-fighters which began in 1536, when the father of British sailor Christopher Walker was killed during a pirate attack. Swearing an oath on the skull of his father’s murderer to fight evil, Christopher began a legacy of the Phantom which would pass from father to son. Nicknames for the Phantom include “The Ghost Who Walks”, “Guardian of the Eastern Dark” and “The Man Who Cannot Die”.
Unlike other fictional costumed heroes, the Phantom has no superpowers and relies on his strength, intelligence and reputed immortality to defeat his foes. The 21st Phantom is married to Diana Palmer; they met while he studied in the United States and have two children, Kit and Heloise. He has a trained wolf, Devil, and a horse named Hero. Like the previous Phantoms, he lives in the ancient Skull Cave.
The Phantom was the first fictional hero to wear the skintight costume which has became a hallmark of comic-book superheroes, and was the first shown in a mask with no visible pupils (another superhero standard).
The Phantom began as a daily strip on February 17, 1936 with “The Singh Brotherhood”, written by Falk and drawn by him for two weeks and then by Ray Moore (assistant to artist Phil Davis on Mandrake the Magician). That year, The Phantom was serialized in the Australian Woman’s Mirror. A Sunday Phantom strip was added on May 28, 1939.
During World War II Falk joined the Office of War Information, where he became chief of the radio foreign-language division. Moore also served during the war and left the strip to his assistant, Wilson McCoy. When Moore returned he worked sporadically on the strip until 1949, when McCoy succeeded him. During McCoy’s tenure, The Phantom appeared in thousands of newspapers worldwide and was smuggled by boat into Nazi-occupied Norway during the war; “Phantom” was a password for the Norwegian resistance movement.
McCoy died unexpectedly in 1961. Carmine Infantino and Bill Lignante (who later drew several Phantom stories for comic books) filled in before a successor was found in Sy Barry. During Barry’s early years he and Falk modernized the strip, laying the foundation for what is considered the Phantom’s modern look. Under Barry, Bengalla became a democracy and the character of President Lamanda Luaga was introduced. Barry worked on The Phantom for over 30 years until his 1994 retirement, drawing a total of about 11,000 strips. 
His longtime assistant George Olesen remained on the strip as penciller, with Keith Williams inking the daily strip. The Sunday strip was inked by Eric Doescher until Fred Fredericks succeeded him in 1995.
Falk continued to script The Phantom and Mandrake until his death on March 13, 1999. His last daily and Sunday strip stories, “Terror at the Opera” and “The Kidnappers”, were finished by his wife Elizabeth after her husband pulled off his oxygen mask in the hospital to dictate the storyline. After Falk’s death King Features cooperated with European comic publisher Egmont, publisher of the Swedish Fantomen magazine (which changed from publishing Phantom stories in comic-book format to providing the newspaper strip as well) by adapting their own Phantom comic-book stories into the strip format. Fantomen writers Tony De Paul and Claes Reimerthi alternated as writers of the newspaper strip after Falk died, with De Paul handling the daily strips and Reimerthi the Sunday ones. De Paul would later become the strip’s sole writer. Some stories were adapted from those originally published in Fantomen.
In 2000, Olesen and Fredericks retired from the Sunday strip. It was continued by comic-book artist Graham Nolan, who had drawn three Fantomen covers. In early 2005 Olesen and Williams left the daily strip after Olesen retired, and artist Paul Ryan (who had worked on the Fantomen comic stories and had been a fan of the character since childhood) took over the daily strip. Ryan succeeded Nolan as artist on the Sunday strip in 2007. On July 31, 2011, Eduardo Barreto became the Sunday-page artist. He died after only a few months, and Ryan temporarily took over the Sunday page again on January 15, 2012 (which featured a memorial to Barreto). Ryan also did the following week’s strip, before Terry Beatty became Barreto’s replacement.

The Moore and McCoy years
Raymond S. Moore (1905 – January 13, 1984), better known as Ray Moore, was the co-creator, together with Lee Falk, and first artist on what would grow to become the world’s most popular adventure comic strip, The Phantom, which started in 1936.[1] Moore had previously worked as Phil Davis’ assistant on the Lee Falk-created Mandrake the Magician comic strip, which was why he was thought to be a suitable choice to draw Falk’s new creation.
Robert Wilson McCoy (April 6, 1902 – July 20, 1961) was an American illustrator and painter best known as the second artist on the (still running) The Phantom comic strip. He always went by his middle name and signed The Phantom as Wilson McCoy, but his other artwork was signed R. Wilson McCoy.

The Moore, McCoy and Lignante years
Robert Wilson McCoy (April 6, 1902 – July 20, 1961) was an American illustrator and painter best known as the second artist on the (still running) The Phantom comic strip. He always went by his middle name and signed The Phantom as Wilson McCoy, but his other artwork was signed R. Wilson McCoy.
Raymond S. Moore (1905 – January 13, 1984), better known as Ray Moore, was the co-creator, together with Lee Falk, and first artist on what would grow to become the world’s most popular adventure comic strip, The Phantom, which started in 1936.[1] Moore had previously worked as Phil Davis’ assistant on the Lee Falk-created Mandrake the Magician comic strip, which was why he was thought to be a suitable choice to draw Falk’s new creation.
William Gaetano Lignante (March 20, 1925 – February 27, 2018[1]) was an American artist notable for his varied career as a comic book illustrator, comic strip artist, animator and television courtroom sketch artist.
Born in Brooklyn, New York, Lignante was in the Navy and studied art at Pratt Institute. He first drew The Phantom when he completed a strip left unfinished after the death of Wilson McCoy in 1961.
He then drew the Sunday strip from August, 1961 to May 1962.

The Fred Fredericks years
Harold “Fred” Fredericks, Jr. (August 9, 1929 – March 10, 2015) was an American cartoonist who drew the Mandrake the Magician comic strip from June 1965, taking over for the late Phil Davis. Creator Lee Falk modernized the comic when Fredericks took over the strip, making it more reality-based by focusing less on science fiction and fantasy, and making Mandrake operate more like a secret agent, often helping out the police with cases they could not solve.
Fredericks is also well known for inking The Phantom Sunday strips 1995 to 2000 (pencilled by George Olesen); Graham Nolan succeeded Fredericks when he decided to concentrate fully on Mandrake.

Filesharing? I have all Lee Falk’s era phantom dailies and sunday strips. If you want these files. Look for torrent sites these old files and activate downland information.
Search Phantom Dailies (six parts) and Phantom Sunday Series (Falk).

In 1949-50, The Phantom ran four stories (“Fathers and Sons”, “The Flirtatious Princess”, “The Thuggees” and “The Ape Idol of the Durugo”) that were contiguous to both the daily and Sunday strips. I believe this is the only time in the strip’s history this happened. I have created CBR files of these four stories that collate the Sundays and the dailies to present an unbroken narrative for each. I thought this would be convenient for readers as currently these stories exist only as separate files for dailies and Sundays and both have gaps in the narration. So I combined the two. If you think these collated files would be useful, I’ll send them to you.

I’m going slowly through the Phantom Sunday strips and have found that in S001, #5 and #6 are the same (I think it’s the real #6 that’s missing). Can you help?

I am afraid not, better ask this on the frontpage also, maybe someone else can help.

Good morning Johnny Lee Achziger
Sorry to intrude, but something strange is going on, either you mistyped the story and the respective strips or you have an older version of the one on the site.
After checking the version I have, I downloaded the one on the site, and if it’s really the story:
Phantom S001 – The League of Lost Men
Strips #5 and 6 are different.

Thank you. I must have somehow saved #5 & 6 with the same file name (I don’t know how I could do that since I don’t change anything when I save them). Anyway, all is okay now. I’ll be more careful to double check from here on.
