Today, "The Phantom" is the most widely-read action comic in the world, distributed to more than 500 newspapers in over 40 countries.

Throughout the world, for hundreds of years, the story passed from generation to generation.

A tale of a man who had his beginnings deep in the heart of the jungle. Who had the cunning of a panther, the strength of ten tigers.

A man of courage and honor.

A man whose name struck fear in the heart of those who dwelled in the shadows of greed and evil.

And, he was called ... the Phantom ... the Ghost who walks.

He was not one man, but many men ... fathers and sons who passed the mantle, one to the next.

For a time, it was thought the Phantom had disappeared. But in the year 2040, the Phantom returns.

It is a time when the world needs a hero.
