The Phantom v2 #70 - Don Newton art & cover

Don Newton

The Phantom v2 #70, 1976 - A missing artifact prompts the Cairo Museum to seek the help of the Phantom. This issue pays homage to both the exotic mystery genre and Humphrey Bogart films. The actor appears in character (along with Lauren Bacall and others) throughout the story, even replicating certain scenes from Casablanca and The African Queen. Don Newton captures their likenesses perfectly within his dark, brooding style. His opening splash is a well-designed montage, providing necessary context for the plot. The following page is even more super, depicting the Phantom and Bogart in dramatically cinematic lighting. This story was reprinted in Phantom: The Complete Series, The Charlton Years #5.
