The Phantom v2 #74, 1977 - This period tale of 1776 nicely commemorates and coincides with the American Bicentennial. The colonial-era Phantom of comes to the aid of Benjamin Franklin, but not before denouncing the colonies' ongoing participation of slavery.
Don Newton's flag-themed cover painting is considered a classic by many. The interior story, the artist's last of the series, is no less exemplary. Skillfully drawn and paced, the highlights include an engraving-like illustration of a ship at sea (page 6) and the bold dramatically-lit close-ups on pages 7, 8 and 11. The letters page toward the end repurposes previous published Newton art. This is 7 of 7
