In this spin-off from Mad Cave’s The Phantom series, the titular hero is on the trail of a crew of airborne pirates who aided in the destruction of a village. The Ghost Who Walks takes them on one by one, branding each of them with his mark as they’re defeated, and picks up an unlikely ally along the way to the final boss.

I enjoyed the hell out of this comic, which opens in media res, with an explosive action sequence, and doesn’t let up as its tale is woven back and forth to show how each encounter with The Sky Band’s members plays out.

It’s great, old-fashioned superhero fun with superb art, and a real modern edge (you wouldn’t see so much blood in the classic Phantom comics, for example!), and it’s yet another great example of how reliable Mad Cave are with their old school licenses (see also, for example, their excellent Flash Gordon comics). They’re one of my favourite publishers right now, and I guess I should start reading their main series of The Phantom now…
