Synopsis

For the first time ever, the Avon edition of The Phantom is back in print! Hermes Press is proud to announce that they will be publishing all fifteen pocket Avon books! This exciting installment, Volume 11 offers the classic Lee Falk tale: “The Swamp Rats!”

Famed artist George Wilson (Dr. Solar, Magnus Robot Fighter, The Phantom) painted the cover for Volume #11 as he did with all of the covers used for the Avon series, and they are reproduced beautifully to keep all of the details from the original books intact for a new generation of Phans to enjoy!

Who would dare to venture into the deadly reaches of the Great Swamp? Few who had entered into its mists had emerged to tell of their experiences. Yet, if no one knew the Great Swamp, what better hiding place could he find? So it is that a pack of ruthless escaped convicts set up their headquarters in the Great Swamp, leaving them free to plunder the surrounding areas. They call themselves the Swamp Rats – and only one man can meet the dual challenge of this evil gang and the treacherous swamp. He is the Phantom.
