A collection of original color newspaper comic strip clippings featuring The Phantom, created by Lee Falk with artwork by Sy Barry. The strips are published by King Features Syndicate, Inc. and are primarily from the early 1970s, with visible copyright dates of 1972 and 1973. The clippings are organized into sequential story arcs and are housed within clear plastic protective sleeves. These sleeves are contained in a black, textured, multi-ring spiral binder. The comic strips feature prominent headers titled The PHANTOM and the byline By Lee Falk. Many individual panels include the artist signature Sy BARRY along with specific dates such as 10/8, 9/23, 9/30, and 5/16. Visible copyright notices include King Features Syndicate, Inc., 1972 and King Features Syndicate, Inc., 1973.
Condition report:
The black textured album cover exhibits significant wear, including heavy staining and surface deterioration. The internal spiral binding remains functional and intact. The newspaper clippings show typical age-related toning and yellowing characteristic of newsprint from this era. Most strips appear to be neatly trimmed and are well-preserved inside the protective sleeves.
