Phantom – Die Klassiker
With Phantom – Die Klassiker, the origins of one of the most influential comic heroes return in a high-quality new edition—for the first time ever available in German. This officially licensed series by publishing house ART:9 presents the very first adventures of The Phantom, originally created by Lee Falk and illustrated by Ray Moore in the 1930s, in lovingly restored volumes with carefully modernized translations and fresh typesetting.
The project marks a milestone for German-speaking comic fans: for the first time, the legendary Phantom Dailies appear in a faithful yet accessible German-language edition. Each volume is released as a standalone softcover—designed to honor the legacy of the original material while making it approachable for a new generation of readers.
Phantom – Die Klassiker is more than a reprint—it’s a cultural restoration. It brings timeless storytelling to a new audience and preserves a piece of comic history in a format that does justice to its legacy.
