It was starring the Phantom, Mandrake and Flash Gordon in a battle against Ming. I guess KFS was trying to keep the characters in the public eye or at least inform youngsters that thety still exist.

Sigh. I guess I'm just a die hard fan. “That’s why they’re still in good numbers of papers while “The Phantom” and its like are floundering.”

Its longevity is probably best explained by its ability to change and re-invent itself. As for "story strips," the romance aspects of Mary Worth and Apartment 3-G work better in three-to-four panels today than the old action-adventure story strips do without a lot of room for art and storytelling.

Maybe it has something to do with "Jumping" Joe Giella's fantastic art on the strip.

My art teacher went to the same hair dresser as Paul, and she asked him to come in and talk to us about comics. At the time Paul was drawing <i>Quasar</i>(he signed issue #1 for me, which I still own) and spent around 2hrs. with us. There were several of us in the commercial art program that wanted to go on to become comic book artists and were thrilled to have Paul there. What was really amazing was that my classmates and I were complete derelicts, always in trouble and raising hell in class, yet Paul held our attention and respect. There wasn't a day when one or more of us weren't sent to the office. The principal personally drove me home once. Ahh...<i>memories</i>. I was never a fan of <i>The Phantom</i> but I read it today because of the great art of Paul Ryan... Garey…a little Sunday Fun Fact for you Re: The Phantom:

As well as Madrake the Magician. Prince Valiant used to have beautiful art, nowadays not so much. I love to look at the old Valiant sunday panels. You just don't see art like that in the papers anymore. But I never really followed the story line as much as I just always loved the art. The Phantom has always been a favorite of mine.
