The Phantom 83rd year anniversary

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
