Original Golden and Silver Age Phantom comic strip art from this period are not only hard to source, but highly collectable and sought after by collectors, mainly due to the simple fact that not many examples have survived, plus those that have survived rarely appear on the open market for sale.

These beautiful example of classic Ray Moore art will surly be a cherished addition to any collection. Hopefully they’ll be snapped up by a dedicate Phantom fan to compliment an existing Phantom collection.
