The Phantom: The Ghost Who Walks #0-5 (Ongoing, Update)

Having been featured by a variety of comic book publishers over the years, the origins of the comic strip fictional crime fighter operating out of the African jungle created in 1936 by Lee Falk was retconned by Moonstone in 2006 and that series ran for 26 issues with two annuals. Last February 11 (2009) Moonstone relaunched the series as starting with issue #0, a retelling of the origins of the character as based on Falk'scomic strips. Issue #5 starts the next story arc entitled, "Return of the Eastern Dark" for which issue #4 serves as introduction and prequel.

'Return of The Eastern Dark,' Part 1. When people go missing, The Phantom finds himself drawn into what appears to be a slave trade ring, but turns out to be far more insidious. Can The Ghost Who Walks overcome The Eastern Dark, or will the sun set on our hero once and for all? (W) Mike Bullock; (A) Silvestri Syzilagyi --
