For all lovers of classic American comics comes a real gem seen in Italy only in old and dusty editions from the 1960s and then never reprinted again. A truly unique opportunity for old enthusiasts and completionists to get their hands on material that is almost unknown and entrusted only to the work of fanzines. You will find two years of strips drawn by a great American designer: Sy Barry!

The vibrant front cover features an image of the Phantom and Diana as can be seen below, an illustration by Sy Barry.
