The description provided in online advertisements for the comic book read:

Referred to by comic strip historian Maurice Horn as the “granddaddy of all costumed superheroes,” The Phantom was created in 1936 by Lee Falk. The strip hit the funny pages of newspapers well before the Dark Knight or Superman made their first appearances and has been acknowledged as an influence on every “masked man of mystery” since. The Phantom set the standard for action, adventure, intrigue, and romance in adventure comic strips and comic books — it has frequently been copied but never equaled.

This exciting 11th volume of the full color Sundays continues the SY BARRY YEARS! Reprinted in we bring you fifteen complete continuities drawn by Sy himself which continue the adventures of The Phantom, Diana, and his two children: Also included is a comprehensive essay and documentary materials. This volume starts with “Little Girl” January 5, 1975 and concludes with “Jungle Olympics” concluding on September 2, 1979.

The Phantom: The Complete Sundays Volume Eleven: 1974-1979 is expected to be available for pre-order on the Hermes Press website in the near future, found HERE.
