For the first time in German, this volume presents the publication history of the fascinating hero and goes into detail about the various sources on which the editions published in this country are based. In addition, numerous examples are used to explain how individual editorial offices not only shortened or edited countless stories, but sometimes even completely falsified their content. Extensive, meticulously compiled lists also make it possible to unequivocally identify every story straight away. Lee Falk's PHANTOM is a reference work not only for phantom fans, but for all those interested in comics. With detailed bibliographies of all phantom comics and their German-language publications.
