The Phantom Sundays

Phantom cover artGraham Nolan was the artist on Detective Comics for a good part of the 90's. I thought he drew a fantastic Batman. Nolan's Batman embodied the Knight aspect of one of Batman's popular nicknames, the Dark Knight. Nolan left DC comics in 2000 to go draw the adventures of The Phantom in the Sunday comic strips.

Moonstone, who is the only company putting out an American published comic book version of the Phantom, recently announced that they would be collecting the Nolan drawn Phantom stories into two trade paperbacks. The combination of Nolan artwork and the Phantom make this an enticing book to pick up. This rough cover sketch helps also.
