The PHANTOM ships this week

Posted By: Peter DavidPosted On:

In case you haven’t heard–and I suspect that’s the case for many of you–I’m writing a six-issue PHANTOM limited series for Hermes Press. First issue ships this week.

I suspect many stores aren’t intending to carry it because it’s off the Marvel/DC trail, so I would strongly suggest that if you’re interested, PLEASE order it in advance.

For years fans have asked what my ideal series was and I always said “The Phantom vs. Tarzan.” That is essentially the story that I have written. Is Tarzan actually in it? Not exactly, but it’s still mostly the same tale that I’ve been planning for years, so for heaven’s sake, don’t “I’ll trade paperback it” this time around. It’s a small press and needs all the support that fans can provide. Plus Sal Velluto has done wonderful artwork on it.

So please pick it up.

The concept was that Ellison, Neil Gaiman and I would take the stage as—in the spirit of the Three Tenors—the Three High-Verbals.
