Beginning in the late 1940s Sy Barry became a comic artist. First assisting his brother Dan on the Tarzan comic strip, then going freelance into comic books while still helping brother Dan on the Flash Gordon comic strip of the 1950s. His main claim to fame is being the artist for The Phantom comic strip from 1961 to 1994 after which he retired.
Last month Sy celebrated his 98th birthday at Stone Hill, Andover Massachusetts’ senior living community. This month Andover Living magazine cover featured Sy and brought us all up-to-date with the comic artist (via the Chronicle Chamber).
