The Phantom

The Phantom
Though his given name is Kit Walker, this jungle avenger is better known as The Phantom, the Ghost Who Walks, the Man Who Cannot Die. Kit is the 21st to wear the mysterious purple costume of the Phantom. To the good people of the jungle, though, there has only been one Phantom, and the secret of his succession has been jealously guarded. It was over 500 years ago that Walker's ancestor vowed on the skull of his murdered father to fight piracy, greed and injustice in all its forms. Today, the Phantom wears the Skull Ring as a symbol of his quest to right wrongs and punish evildoers. The Phantom's base of operations is the Skull Cave deep in the Bengalla jungle. His quest has taken him around the world, and legends continue to grow around him daily. When people speak of The Phantom, they talk of daring escapes and hair-raising adventures!

Devil and Hero

Devil and Hero
The Phantom's trained wolf, Devil, and his white stallion, Hero, help the Phantom track down evil-doers. They are almost as legendary as the famous masked man himself!

Diana Palmer

Diana Palmer
This globe-trotting socialite was the first to discover that her boyhood friend, Kit Walker, was, in reality, the Phantom. The two have shared many adventures together, with the plucky young Diana matching him in his heroics. It was in 1977 when Diana married Kit and went with him to the Skull Cave to live.
