Diagonally striped panties on top of the purple longjohns is essential if you are to call yourself 'The Phantom'. The double Colt M1911 are to discourage people from laughing.

When I was a kid growing up in Newfoundland, the local "entertainment" magazine had a two or three page B&W comic section.  Like someone who posted earlier, I opened the "Newfoundland Herald" every week, anxious to read the Phantom's latest adventures.

It is the only section of the Sunday paper's comics that I read now. And for the Saturday paper, I only read Modesty Blaise!!  :o

Ah, Mr Walker.

My wedding ring was a skull ring. I've worn out three of them so far (rings not wives). A jeweller pal of mine is making the cross-cutlass "protection" version for me.

The Phantom is the greatest of all the superheros simply because of the recognition of his humanity. He can, and has, died to be replaced by others in the Eternal Fight.

One of his odder manifestations was to play Condoman in New Guinea and Northern Australia in an attempt to stop the spread of HIV/AIDs by encouraging the use of condoms. The campaign was pretty successful from memory.
It requires less mental effort to condemn than to think - Emma Goldman

Sound like I'm not the only one who likes The Ghost Who Walks that much. Got a skull ring but it isn't my wedding ring.

I have the ONE RING for that...  >:D

My childhood hero. Biggest and most long lasting superhero there ever was in Sweden. Here he actually wore blue, due to some printers misunderstanding.

Blue it was here in Denmark, too - but I have seen some prints with the purple suit. Actually most prints were in b/w, only the cover printed in colour.

Was he the first masked hero to sport tight-fitting undies?

well, if You discount the rather undress and muscular heroes of antiquity and classicism, it would appear so....

or You regard it as an archetypical naked heroism clad in the spandex of modern industry ;)
