The story: Determined to reach the jungle’s edge to summon the Phantom, a girl escapes from hospital dressed only in a bikini and sandals. The latter is prepared, thanks to radio reports warning the public of an escaped patient suffering from bubonic plague.
With the girl safely in the Deep Woods, the Phantom learns that her father is missing after returning to Bengali to clear his name back in the States. Determined to find who is lying and who is telling the truth, the Phantom starts to trawl through a web of deceit that brings him nearer to the violent, disturbing truth...
There are pages 2,31 & 32 missing. The cover is added from older version by Venkitachalam Subramanian who scanned & edited & uploaded it.

All thanks and credits go to him.
Those of who started downloading after reading about the girl in a bikini, you are going to be in for a shock. The IJC guys donated clothing to the girl.
ReplyDeleteBut go and read the original daily strips, if you want to see her in a bikini
Thanks team.
ReplyDeleteThe cover looks more like a Frew cover (from older times). Frew has never been famous for its cover art but now a days they are at a all time low as far as face of comics is concerned.
@Venkitachalam Subramanian Soon I'll recover lost data and check. :)
ReplyDelete@The Phantom Head (TPH) Many comics by Egmont have disappointed me a lot also.
