He was eager to show us his vast Phantom collection as his father introduced him to and reminded him of the super hero. “The Phantom is an American adventure comic strip, first published by Lee Falk in February 1936. The main character, the Phantom, is a fictional costumed crime-fighter who operates from the fictional African country of Bangalla.” In the comic universe we dream and wonder. A champion and their powers. Their origin stories. Imagination and unbounded physics is pure freedom to creating worlds. Following along the hidden life of a vigilante. A symbol of hope. The purple savior. Who is behind the Phantom’s mask? Representing the unconscious. The alter ego of a super-hero. A parent is our first hero. They protected our life and gave us a home to learn who we become. James, father of Maya, shares the love of his paragon, The Phantom, with his friends and family.
