I have the whole series of these books converted from the Lee Falk comics into prose (not quite the same) and am gradually reading through them.
I will not give away the story line but surprise surprise the Phantom wins!
It has all of the heroes, villains, and storyline that any pulp fiction gamer could want.
Legally elected but deposed President of Bangalla, Dr Lamanda Luaga. He was the first democratically elected President in Bandalla’s two thousand year history.
Arch Villain and Coup Leader General Bababu – described by his enemies as “half gorilla, half rhino and all monster”. Gotta like that!
General Bababu’s Army followers
The United Nations Doctors with Diana in her Paramedics outfit!
United Nations downed helicopter pilots
The United Nations Ambassador
The Bandar Pygmies
Guran, Pygmy Chief and life long friend of the Phantom.
Heroine Diana Palmer, borne to wealth, Olympic Gold Medal Diver, pilot. and explorer “An amazing girl with the tender hands of a ministering angel and the face and body of a goddess!” Oh and of course “squeeze” of The Ghost Who Walks.
The Ghost Who Walks!
These books are on average about 150 pages and can easily be read in one sitting. They are my equivalent of a “Mills and Boon” romance novel! The figures depicted above might even get a run in the next few weeks.
You can’t beat some serious research! 🙂
And escapism!
Great stuff!!! These are very cool figures — love the Phantom and that General Bababu is just tremendous!
Thanks. When I saw them I just had to have them. The Phantom is from https://blackarmygames.com/ and The “General For Life” is from https://www.matakishi.net/ , but I can no longer see it on their website.
I remember the Phantom from the comics back when I was a kid. Cool models and excellent work on the bunch.
Thanks Mark. They have been on the shelf for years with only the occasional outing.
