This is the conclusion It's made by the same team or created by the same team that created issue number one And as I said before what DC did with the phantom is Very reminiscent of the old newspaper strips It's like they started it feeling that they wanted to do a black and white story Like the newspaper strips and then they just added color on top of that So there wasn't a super lot of shading It is more or less solid colors Solid blacks without any fading or anything a lot of cross hatching For those of you who don't know cross hatching would be these little individual lines They usually go in one direction or the other sometimes cross hatching doing both ways at the same time and fading out But that's what it looks like here to me now where we left off This is guns part two It retells the story of kit walker and the phantom about his good mark and everything Where we left off the phantom was surrounded by gun runners. He doesn't have much of a chance The main bad guy is talking to him. He finally tells the guys to kill Because he was surrounded in a circle This gave him a little bit of an advantage because it limited Eliminated the mercenaries ability to fire So he was able to dot duck behind some crates and shoot out the lights And then by the time the lights were out He starts picking them off one by one until eventually all that's left is a leader and the leader ends up Dropping a grenade which blows the shit up ship up blows the shit up blows the ship up And he he thinks the phantom is dead. No one could have survived that blast But this is the phantom we're talking about we then joined Diana Palmer who's just woken up from a nightmare Her and Kit Walker are Connected their true loves She can feel when he's in danger her mom comes in checks on her and everything Then we return back to the leader of the Mercenaries who's at a hotel? He paid for the hotel in advance But the owner of the hotel and his employees come in and pretty much boot him out give him his advance back He's now marked. He's not physically marked with the skull mark of the phantom But his door was marked there is no escape Which means his soul is marked No one is able to help him now. He's trying to escape. He's trying to leave the country But no one will help him they throw him out of the hotel No one on the street will help him Take him to the airport the airport will not help him at all. He's marked the phantom rules this nation rules this land so he meets up with an American who is giving selling him the selling him the weapons to Sell to both sides. He ends up killing them and taking his car Goes to a bar with one side where one side of the One side of the Civil War are having drinks and they know he's been funding but giving firepower to both sides They refuse to help him he goes to the old man who is telling the story in the first issue and Asks how to stop the phantom The old man won't tell him picks him up and that's when the old man tells him To finish he tells him the rest of the story that he started in the first issue The phantom and the mercenaries the phantom captured these mercenaries put him back on the boat told them to go back to Bengala and turn themselves in All the mercenaries decided to stay on the boat except for the captain and first mate Who escaped they ran into some trouble the captain hallucinated thought he killed the phantom when actually he killed his first mate and ended up Getting caught by the Harbor Patrol or whatever and the phantom He's got the whole old man up You know and the phantom finally shows himself and told tells him to release him chases them outside Into into the rain and all that they're fighting through the jungle Until eventually the phantom chases him all the way into the middle of The civil war and he leaves him there Because at this point both sides know that he's been supplying guns to them So now he's caught in the middle of the civil war and the phantom leaves Without a care and returns to the skull cave And that's pretty much the story Like I said with issue one DC really did the phantom right The colors they focused more on the villains than the hero himself Which is how the phantom should be done? I just can't say it enough DC knows how to do the phantom and I kind of wish dynamite would Take some pointers from DC on the phantom in the king issues King the phantom and all that they focus more on the phantom and not enough on not as much on the villains They also do more bright vibrant colors a lot more shading and everything The phantom was always meant to be in the style of the newspaper strip the colors that there's no fading or anything It's just solid colors With cross hatching. It's just done so perfectly. I I can't say it enough I don't know. I'll say about this guy DC really did the phantom right. I I don't have any problems with the story at all So if you can find DC's Interpretation of the phantom from 1989 Some good stories. These are the only two issues. I got from DC's line I'm planning on getting some more once I get a chance.
