The Phantom Chapter 15

Go to chapter 15

Peace in the Jungle

Yay, Bremmer is the new Phantom! Long live the Phantom!
Yet another sniper. Ah well. And they killed the assassin. The end.

Eventually this property would become an animated cartoon several times, including once with Aeon Flux creator Peter Chung involved. (Obviously the strip predated the show.)

The Phantom Chapter 14

The Lost City

Out of bullets (click click click)

The Phantom Chapter 13

http://www.archive.org/details/ThePhantom1943Serial-15Chapters

Go to chapter 13

The Road To Zoloz.

Starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope. Wait. No.

Batman show style oblique angles.
Poisoned drink? Inconceivable!

Phantom holds a cigarette like a joint.

The Phantom Chapter 12

Go to chapter 12.

The Fangs of the Beast.

Silhouette shot.
Two guns.
Did people not know what gorillas look like? (Incidentally, gorilla=Africa; I guess the phantom's realm is vast).

The Phantom Chapter 11

Go to chapter 11

The Emerald Key

Conch shells and iron helmets.
"Stay here, Devil."

This sounds terribly dubbed.
I knew they'd try that with the gate.

The Phantom Chapter 10

http://www.archive.org/details/ThePhantom1943Serial-15Chapters

Go to chapter 10.

The Chamber of Death.

That one native instrument is like a mix between a bubble pipe and a sax. Wow, they're reallllly reusing footage this time.

Everyone has a funny accent. They're not acting; I think it's just all their own bad accents.
There's a sniper in the branches of the trees.

There's a tiger; so we're on the subcontinent?

The Phantom Chapter 9

http://www.archive.org/details/ThePhantom1943Serial-15Chapters

Go to chapter 9

The Fire Princess.

Like a cartoon, it kills time with credits. Like a tv cartoon, it kills time with footage that's already been used.
Slipping down dirt hill. That's probably a euphemism for something too.

It's a simple template; walk around, then be in some non-perilous peril, end. Maybe throw in some low level PTA cheesecake.

Adrienne Barbeau may be older than I thought.

The Phantom Chapter 8

http://www.archive.org/details/ThePhantom1943Serial-15Chapters

Go to Chapter 8.
In Quest of the Keys
This Lois Lane is better at finding out her Superman's identity than the actual Lois Lane. So the gig will be up when Lois Lane tells them Lex Luthor only pretended to be shot, right? Heh, Phantom whispers from the bushes instead of actually helping Lois Lane... Slippy hill...

The Mystery Well
Off screen deus ex canisma. Big hat, fast knife. Does anyone ever die?

The Phantom Chapter 6

http://www.archive.org/details/ThePhantom1943Serial-15Chapters

Go to chapter 6

Jungle Whispers
I wonder if this is where they got the idea for the Indiana Jones bridge thing, or if bridge scenes were a standard in various serials. Trap guns are illegal even on your own property...

The Phantom Chapter 5

http://www.archive.org/details/ThePhantom1943Serial-15Chapters

Go to chapter 5, The Ghost Who Walks.

Why exactly does someone have a giant gas chamber in the jungles of wherever the hell we are?

They seemed to really toss some stunt guys off that soundstage bridge...

The Phantom Chapter 1

What was in theaters with cartoons? Serials.

Man, that phantom was really really fat and unwell.

I think this may be an old timey tale from the island in Lost...
