2017 Annual Special: The Girl Phantom.
This is a journey that commenced with Lee Falk's story, The Female Phantom, which originally ran as a newspaper strip from July 20th 1952 until October 12th 1952. The wonderful art of Wilson McCoy has been masterfully coloured by Norway's renowned Phantom authority, Ivan Pederson. He has used a beautiful and tastefully authentic palette to allow this fine Lee Falk/McCoy classic to spring into a new lease on life.
Since this original 1952 story, Julie Walker and her twin brother Kit have been referred to as the children of the 17th Phantom and on another occasion as the children of the 16th Phantom. This only adds to the mystique and promise of this character who has all the training and the skills to be the Phantom in her own right but is invariably brought back to domesticity, by love and worldly feminine stereotyping that was prevalent in the era of her creation.
The Female Phantom lit a fire that has been burning and smouldering throughout Phantom folklore ever since. Julie Walker is a much loved and deeply cherished character who has generated her own story within The Phantom across many different publications such as Fantomen, Moonstone, Gold Key, King, Chariton and many reprints by Frew.
