The world’s most famous sleuth crosses swords with “The Tiger,” grim master of crime, and rips apart a tangled web of sinister murder and intrigue cloaking a deeper terror! Follow the Phantom on a blood-drenched trail of mystery!

 

The Phantom Detective may actually be responsible for the direction a now famous comic strip character took in his own development. When first debuted by creator Lee Falk in 1936, the crimefighter known as The Phantom was actually Jimmy Wells, a millionaire playboy fighting crime in New York City. With these similarities, along with the character’s name being so close to that of The Phantom Detective, some believe that Falk may actually have taken inspiration from the pulp character. It may also have led Falk, according to sources, to make a decision that appeared to be sudden. Within the strip itself, the character took a hard turn from city bound masked man to being the now legendary jungle oriented ‘Ghost Who Walks’ that millions of fans recognize.

 

The Phantom Detective transcended pulp magazines and made his way into comic books as that media gained more and more prominence. Published originally in his own Pulp magazine by Thrilling Publications, the character publisher Ned Pines ushered in as the lead in the second Hero Pulp also had a life as a four-color hero. The Phantom Detective debuted in Thrilling Comics, a title published by Pines under his company’s comic line, usually referred to as Nedor Comics. It is somewhat of a mystery to some fans why The Phantom Detective simply didn’t have his own comic title, based on how well the Pulp magazine appeared to be doing.

 

The Phantom and the Daggers of Kali was originally published in the April 1940 issue of The Phantom Detective Magazine and is read with pulse pounding intensity by award winning voice actor Milton Bagby.
