I have been a huge Phantom fan ...I love this entry! I have been a huge Phantom fan since I was 8. I first came across the character while visiting family in India as a child. On those trips my parents would buy me comic books to read. Issues of the Phantom were some of my first along with Tin Tin and Asterix as well as locally created Amar Chitra Katha comics (http://www.amarchitrakatha.com/) <br /><br />I always loved the Phantom's part Tarzan part Batman mix of jungle vigilante. And the look, no one else can make purple jumpsuits and striped underpants on the outside work. Also I love the fact that being a legacy hero is essential the Phantom's power. I love the pulp aesthetic such a conceit brings to the character. <br /><br />Also dare I say the visual similarities between original Dan Garret Blue Beetle and Kit Walker Phantom don't hurt as well.
