Appearing on the CBR website, we read a fun article titled ‘Indiana Jones & 9 Other Pulp-Inspired Adventure Heroes‘.

Written by Ashley Land on the 6th of June, 2023, the post features movies, usually with an action/adventure theme, which contributed to the genre, giving us the opportunity to watch our heroes on the big screen. These including characters such as Tarzan, Lara Croft, The Rocketeer and Indiana Jones.

The Phantom is also found amongst the movies and heroes noted. Ashley writes about the Phantom:

Billy Zane’s Phantom is perhaps the most underrated comic book film of all time. Based on Lee Falk’s 1936 Phantom newspaper comic strip, it follows the jungle-based hero and protector of Bangalla when he’s roped into an international villain’s plans, forcing him to leave the safety of his jungle.

The Phantom is a heroic mantle passed down between fathers and sons, and the movie follows the hero as he prevents a villainous organization from recovering a series of magical skulls. The hero is adept at several skills, such as aviation and combat, and deserves more movies.
