The Phantom comic strip character celebrated a 83 year anniversary
yesterday. "The series began with a daily newspaper strip on February
17, 1936, followed by a color Sunday strip on May 28, 1939; both are
still running as of 2013. At the peak of its popularity, the strip was
read by over 100 million people each day." (quote from the I Spy, Spy
Show FB page). I actually have a professional connection to the
Phantom. In 1992, I did style guide for King Features with designs for
T- shirt and sweat shirts.
And even I design for a Phantom balloon for
the Macy's Thanksgiving's Day parade.
How I wish that had happened. Enjoy
