Naturally, the Phantom comics are the best. They have been around for years and are still going strong with new stories and sometimes old ones being shown again. The Phantom (me) is a legend. Not many characters have stayed around as long as the Phantom. I am 400 years old after all. Ghost who walks, man who cannot die........
I have been collecting for about 23 years, and still enjoy reading them and they are not a ridiculous price so everyone can afford them. Usually only $2.50 every fortnight.
Get up there and start reading!

Was "The Phantom" really created by an Australian?

Unfortunately not. Lee Falk, the creator of the Phantom was born and bred in the USA.

As a young lad, many ,many moons ago, I used to like the Captain marvel comics.........are they still around........??

Most certainly. You will have to visit a comic shop to find them no doubt. There is a comic shop near where I work, and they have absolutely everything. I also went to a convention the other weekend called Supanova, which was in Sydney, and you wouldn't believe the old comics there, that you hadn't seen since you were a kid. Certainly brings back some memories. I was also a young lad many, many moons ago, so I guess we are probably from around the same era. There were other comics there that I remembered reading like the Flash, the Fantastic Four etc. Captain America was also in that era. Truly great stuff.

I was just over at the comic shop, and mentioned your request. Apparently Captain Marvel was owned by one company, then they wanted to get rid of it, and Marvel comics bought it. I saw a recent issue comic there that was a joint Superman, Captain Marvel one, but apparently they can't use the name Captain Marvel on the front to promote it, but they can on the inside. On the front you will find they use "Shazam" instead.

The shop will do mail order if you're interested.

In case you were following it up, it's called SHAZAM/SUPERMAN: FIRST THUNDER. Details the first meeting between the two powerhouses of the DC stable. Last issue (if it is a 4-parter) of the four-parter should have been out in December.

not really a big phantom fan, except the ones in the sunday paper, but my brother has the whole AGE of Apocalypse series, and all these other marvel comics stuff, the dark knight isn't bad either

Does anyone remember "the unknown soldier"?

I have just started reading Phantom Comics and came across an old comic where all these bizarre animals live on an island called The Garden of Eden.  There is a gorilla called Baldy and caveman-like creatures called Hrz and Hiss.  How did they get there

Hi,

Can anypne help me with Hrz and Hss???? I'm dying here. Also Baldy the Gorilla and Steggy the Dinosaur. Any Phantom fan worth their salt would be able to assist. derogatory comment deleted - mod

By the way- Peter Gill of 1988 Rugby League style rocks.

Nuala - you won't win any friends by abusing people.  Please desist.

I can help answer your query.  My Dad and I have been Phantom fans for many years and have been collecting them for over 2 decades.  The Phantom put the animals there to keep them away from the evil clutches of humans.  He knew they would be exploited if man ever got their hands on them, so the best place he could keep them safe was on his island of eden.
