Download or read book The Phantom 18 28 1966 King Comics written by Lee Falk and published by King Comics. This book was released on 2014-08-16 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Probably the best known of all Phantom comics in the U.S.A., this series of 73 colour comics was published between Nov 1962 and Jan 1977, under three different publishers. The series began under the Gold Key label, published by K.K.Publications as a quarterly 12c comic. With issue #11 in 1965, the series changed to a bi-monthly. In 1966, the release schedule returned to a quarterly basis, and only lasted two more issues before the first change of publisher occurred. In total, there were 17 Phantom comics with the Gold Key label. All sported beautiful painted covers by George Wilson. Three of these covers are reported to have been painted by another unknown artist (#5, #12, #13). Most of the stories were adaptations of original Lee Falk newspaper strip stories, with new artwork by Bill Lignante. King Features Syndicate became the new publisher of The Phantom comics, releasing their first issue in September 1966 under the King Comics label. They continued the numbering sequence from the Gold Key series, labelling this issue #18. It was published as a 12c bi-monthly until issue #23 in mid-1967 when it changed to a monthly schedule. Issue #28 was the last to be published under the King Comics label (cover price 15c), only 6 issues into the monthly schedule. Of the 11 Phantom comics published by King, all but one of the stories were illustrated by Bill Lignante. The first two issues contained adaptations of older Lee Falk stories, and thereafter, the stories were original. Issue #25 contained a story entitled The Cold Fire Worshippers which was reprinted from the Italian comics series American Adventures published by Fratelli Spada, and drawn by Senio Pratesi. The cover artwork on the first three of these comics were by Bill Lignante, while all others appear to have been lifted directly from panels of Sy Barry's newspaper strips. The reigns of The Phantom comic were picked up again over a year later (February 1969), by Charlton Press using the Charlton Comics label. They continued with the same numbering sequence but skipped #29 and began with #30. This first issue featured uncredited artwork, but the covers and all but two of the stories in the next year of bi-monthly issues were by Jim Aparo. Issue #33 was the first to contain a story by Pat Boyette, and Bill Lignante was brought back to illustrate his last Phantom story which appeared in #35. From issue #39 onwards (August 1970), the cover and story artwork was exclusively by Pat Boyette. With only a handful of exceptions, each issue then contained three 7-page stories. The art and stories during this period can best be described as woeful. Despite a considerable volume of negative feedback from readers, Charlton persisted with Pat Boyette until #59 in December 1973. The declining sales must have struck a nerve with Charlton (who'd changed their name to Charlton Publications after #56), and the comic was revived six months later in #60 as The New Phantom. In their search for new artists and writers, Charlton first relied on stories from the Italian publisher Fratelli Spada, before introducing us to the work of Don Sherwood and ... more notably ... Don Newton. In total, Don Newton contributed six beautifully illustrated 22-page stories (#67, #68, #70, #71, #73, #74) complete with painted cover artwork, plus the cover for #69. Sales improved, but not enough to save the flagging title. The last issue of The Phantom comic was #74, in January 1977. A complete index of the individual stories in each issue of Charlton Comics is available HERE. An analysis of the circulation data and the cover price builds an interesting picture of how this series eventually failed. Cover price for the series commenced at 12c, and was raised to 15c from #34, 20c from #46, 25c from #60, and finally 30c from #70 -- this was common for all American comics at the time. At the same time, the number of comics being printed was gradually falling, but at a lesser rate than the number that were being sold. This graph shows what happened. By 1976, the paid circulation was less than 40%, compared with a peak of 65% in 1965. Not even the brilliant efforts of Don Newton were enough to save the title ... the damage had already been done. Simply put, the editors at Charlton were too slow to make the necessary corrections. The Phantom was subsequently absent from American newsstands, at least in comic book form, for the next 10 years. Issue Publisher Date #1 - #17 Gold Key Comics Nov 1962 - Jul 1966 #18 - #28 King Comics Sep 1966 - Dec 1967 #30 - #74 Charlton Comics Feb 1969 - Jan 1977
Download or read book ELDORIA and The Urban Explorers Club written by Dandy Ahuruonye and published by Dandyahuruonyebooks.com. This book was released on 2024-08-31 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a realm where history murmured through ancient ruins, a band of nine youthful explorers embarked on a quest that would test their courage, intellect, and camaraderie. Their adventure began in the heart of a bustling metropolis, where they formed a club dedicated to unearthing the mysteries that lay beneath the surface. One fateful day, they stumbled upon a long-forgotten chart, a relic from a bygone era. Nestled in the depths of a venerable library, its intricate details and faded ink promised secrets yearning to be unveiled. Zanny, a whirlwind of curiosity, was the first to spot it, igniting a spark of excitement that spread through the group. At that moment, they fell silent, each lost in their own thoughts as if the map, with its faded ink and enigmatic symbols, had cast a spell over them. It was a call to adventure, a promise of secrets waiting to be uncovered. As the afternoon sun began its descent, casting long shadows across the library floor, they knew they couldn’t resist the allure of the unknown. The map had revealed its final destination: a perilous mountain pass, shrouded in legend and cloaked in perpetual snow. Its peak, a jagged tooth against the sky, was said to be the gateway to the lost city of Eldoria. The group finally left the library and soon arrived at its base, a contrasting crew of adventurers, their hearts pounding with hope and trepidation as they gazed up in amazement at what awaited them high above. What would happen next to these intrepid adventurers? Would they succeed in their quest? With another chart as their guide, they later ventured into the labyrinthine streets of the city, their hearts pounding with anticipation. They discovered hidden passageways, ancient tunnels, and forgotten landmarks, each offering a glimpse into the city’s rich heritage. Along the way, they faced challenges both physical and mental. They navigated treacherous terrain, deciphered cryptic clues, and even encountered rival explorers vying for the same secrets. But their friendship and unwavering determination proved to be their greatest assets. As they delved deeper into the city’s underbelly, they uncovered a world of forgotten treasures and ancient knowledge. They encountered mysterious guardians, solved age-old riddles, and witnessed the breathtaking beauty of hidden wonders. Their journey was not without its risks. They faced danger, uncertainty, and the ever-present threat of the unknown. But their courage and resilience shone through, propelling them forward on their quest. In the end, their adventure was more than just a treasure hunt. It was a journey of self-discovery, a testament to the power of friendship, and a celebration of the city’s rich heritage. As they stood at the end of their quest, having uncovered the secrets of the ancient chart, they realised that the real treasure was not Eldoria’s glory or the hidden tunnels conquered, but the bonds they had forged and the memories they had created, as well as the journey itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The likeness between the twins went even deeper than the surface. Both owed their success in life to a certain hardness of character coupled with an abundance of energy. Neville, going to the Bar, had made himself feared from the first as a brutal and domineering cross-examiner; and his criminal practice had done little to soften his professional manners. Roger’s rise to prosperity had been more mysterious. It was vaguely known that he had made money in South Africa and South America; but the exact methods which had led to his fortune were never discussed by him. He had come home at the age of forty-five to find his brother one of the leading lights of the Bar. The purchase of the little Whistlefield estate had followed, and Roger had apparently been content to settle down in the countryside and make a clean break with the interests of his past...FROM THE BOOKS.

Download or read book The Genesis and Geometry of the Labyrinth written by Patrick Conty and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2002-12-01 with total page 652 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking look at the phenomenon of the labyrinth, connecting this ancient symbol to modern scientific principles. • Illustrated with labyrinths from around the world and throughout history. • Demonstrates how the labyrinth differs from a maze and how it is a tool for interpreting ancient myths and religious beliefs. • Draws parallels between the labyrinth and quantum physics, showing how through the secrets of the labyrinth we can unlock the mystery of life itself. The powerful symbol of the labyrinth exists in countless cultures spanning the globe from Africa and ancient Greece to India, China, and pre-Colombian North and South America. For centuries they have been used for religious rituals, meditation, and spiritual and physical healing. In the labyrinth humanity finds a model of the quintessential sacred space that depicts the most profound levels of consciousness. Its center is regarded in many cultures as a door between two worlds, thus providing individuals with the ideal place for self questioning and meditation. In a comprehensive exploration of this time-honored symbol, Patrick Conty shows how the geometrical construction of the ancient labyrinth corresponds exactly with today's modern geometry, illustrating that recent developments in math and physics parallel the science of ancient civilizations. By looking at the way the two systems complement each other, Conty draws new conclusions about the ancient world and how that world can benefit us right now. Conty explores not only physical labyrinths but also reveals how the same transcendent principles are at work in Celtic knot work; the designs of ancient Chinese cauldrons; the tattoos and tracings of primitive art; the textiles of Africa, Peru, and Central America; and the geometric patterns in Islamic art.
