    The Sundays are in Full Color
  

*by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 28, 2016*

Volume Nine of The Phantom is from 1949 and 1950 and includes three storylines. This is a period in which the strip experimented with combining the Dailes and Sunday strips in to one merged continuity. This approach only last four storylines story lines before they returned to separate continuities.  This volume collects the first three stories. The final merged continuity will appear at the start of Volume Ten.Now here is the part I felt an urgent need to correct.  Amazon lists the Sundays as being in Black and White, that is not true, they are in full and glorious color.  At no additional cost Hermes Press had reproduced the Sundays in color.  As Publisher Daniel Herman explains they could not locate a full run of Half Page Sundays so Third Page Sundays are used when the Half Pages are not available. It really is not that distracting and the alternative was not to publish.The art of Wilson McCoy is kind of growing on me.  At first I found his style to be too flat and cartoony for my taste.  But now I am starting to see the charm in this simplified storytelling. Meanwhile Lee Falk continues to impress with his long meaty stories.  The first two stories are quite long but then the third one is a monster lasting twice their length.The first story is called Fathers and Sons.  I man named Styx comiited a gold robbery fourty  years ago.  He has served those fourty  years in prison. But he has a souvenir to remind him of his captor, the deathhead mark given to him fourty years ago by the Phantom's ring.  While it intialed seems a little silly that intaily no one can figure out this mystery, this is the first major storyline that really dealt with the whole legacy concept and the first time we get much mention of the Phantom's father.The second story called The Flirtatious Princess is a lighter story with some humorist touches.  In a neighbouring country to the Phantoms a naive but beautiful Princess promises marriage to two equally powerful men.  The country in on the verge of war when the Phantom must intercede.  But after the Phantom rescues her from one of her suiters who has abducted her she decides now she wants to marry the Phantom.The final story The Thuggees starts out with some plot treads left over from the previous and The Phantom's jungle friends become obsessed with the Phantom getting married and try recruiting brides. After realizing he only is in love with Diane Palmer he flies to America.  Diane in the meantime decides the same thing and she flies to see the Phantom in his jungle home.  Unfornately Diane never makes it she is kidnapped by the evil Kali and taken to his remote island while they await a quarter million dollar ransom.This is another delightful book and makes me eager for the next volume. My Highest Recommendation.

    ... objective critique as The Phantom is my all time favorite newspaper adventure strip
  

*by T***7 on Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2016*

Mine may not be the most objective critique as The Phantom is my all time favorite newspaper adventure strip.Falk's writing and flair for adventure, and even more importantly humor shines through in Volume 9 like never before. I breezed through this fabulous volume in almost no time.The writing is at its peak, the art is superb, and I continue to look forward to each volume avidly. Thanks Hermes Press. This is great stuff.
