 Julie Walker is the phantom hey guys welcome back to Comic N TV we're all key culture collides if you're new to the channel don't forget to hit that subscribe button so you don't miss out on future videos today on the show we're gonna be taking a look at Julie Walker is the phantom from Moonstone Publishing as you can see this is cover B very nice and before we get started let me turn over to comic vine from GameSpot and read you a kind of summarized version of Julie Walker's biography sometime in the 19th century the 16 phantom ancestor of the current 21st phantom had twins a boy and a girl the boy Kit Walker became the 17th phantom of course but once when he became ill Julie took his place to maintain peace and order in the jungles of Bengala all right guys so according to here according to comic line Julie Walker's first appearance was in phantom in number one nine eight five two five as Julie it doesn't say when her first parents was as the phantom according to this her first out of costume appearance was in phantom in one nine eight five two five so I think what Moonstone did here was redo several of the phantoms earlier stories because this is pretty much the exact story as her earlier appearances from what I've read in my research of the phantom I am a big fan of the phantom however I have not collected the old stories but as you can see here very nice artwork on the front the binding is worn but I would say this is in fair condition Elizabeth Massey Paul Daley and of course this phantom does wear gloves the rest of the costume is the same except for the gloves it's been a while since I've read this issue written by Elizabeth Massey with additional input by Raphael Naves art by Paul Daley colored by Stephen Downer letter by Josh 8 kin edited by Joe Gentile cover A and C by J Anthony Cozar and cover B and D by Paul Daley with Jason Jensen special thanks to our phantom consultant Ed Rhodes and the Karen Moy at King Features as you can see here there's the 17th phantom Kit Walker his twin sister Julie and as with every incarnation of the phantom he when he's in the form of Kit Walker he doesn't usually show his entire face he's usually wearing like sunglasses or a hat or something to kind of conceal his full features very nice artwork glossy pages and in this if I recall correctly this lady here she's a journalist and her life's in danger Kit Walker of course becomes ill so Julie has to take up the mantle of the phantom for her brother she sneaks aboard the ship to protect the lady yeah I'm definitely gonna have to reread this I really like what Moonstone did with the phantom I really like the art our style is very nice I like that they even though she's the phantom in this she's wearing a hood and cape a cloak to also kind of conceal herself as well which I've always felt that the phantom should probably wear a hood at least possibly a cape but at least a hood I don't know what it is about the phantom I was drawn to the phantom by the animated series phantom 2040 way back in the 90s and then when Billy Zane's phantom movie came out I got even more hooked you know it's just something about the character I don't know what it is there it's nothing there's nothing really super special about the character no superpowers just an ordinary human being who spent their life training very similar to Batman even though phantom came first just something about the phantom has always drawn me to the character I like that it's a legacy he's a legacy hero very nice Moonstone did a great job with the phantom dynamite comics is also doing a fantastic job with the phantom in their king features stories such as King Quest and King's Cross those others very nice I would highly recommend you guys pick up an issue of Julie Walker is the phantom from Moonstone comics or any of the phantom comics for that matter Moonstone did a very good job with the design with the drawing the design elements the art style in the comics very nice I would have probably though given the time that Julie Walker was supposed to be around I would have maybe shaped her body a little bit differently though I would have maybe given her a little bit bigger hips she's supposed to have the same training as Kit Walker so she would have needed a more athletic build for that time for that era so maybe a little bit bigger hips maybe a thicker waist not too thick not to where she should look like a weightlifter or bodybuilder anything but definitely maybe a little bit thicker waist and the breasts I think for the design of this character are probably perfect for the era not too large like the way they're drawn nowadays but yeah I really like the artwork I like the story I really like what Moonstone and dynamite have done with the phantom character so yeah if you guys see any phantom comics pick them up very good comics they're not really superhero style comics they're more pulpish but they're pulp but they're not pulp if that makes sense they're in between they're in that in-between place between pulp western and superhero kind of all three combined together if that makes any sense whatsoever also if you have a chance make sure you check out this series phantom 2040 I'm not sure if it's on DVD or not I think you can probably find the entire series on YouTube though but you have to pay for it now also check out the Billy Zane phantom movie as well as the sci-fi miniseries the phantom I'm Shannon for come again TV don't forget to like subscribe comment and share take care everyone
