"Ghost Who Walks Will Never Die."
Before Batman, before The Shadow, before The Green Hornet, before The Lone Ranger, the
comics' first masked mystery-man hero had long since been striking fear into the dark hearts
of the wicked.
Indeed, by the time the world-famous adventures of The Phantom were first recorded in print
more than six decades ago, the grim champion of justice had already been around for nearly
400 years!
Such is the riveting, myth-freighted legend of The Phantom -- "The Ghost Who Walks," "The
Man Who Cannot Die." In the beginning he had been a half-drowned sailor, flung ashore on
the terrible, blood-drenched Bengalla coast after pirates burned his ship and slaughtered his
mates. The gentle Bandar pygmies, taking him to be a sea god of ancient prophecy, nursed
him back to fitness and became his everlasting friends -- as the castaway faced his destiny,
donned costume and mask and was reborn as the first of the Phantoms, scourge of
predators everywhere.
"I swear to devote my life to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice!" he cried
as he formally took "The Oath of the Skull" by firelight. "And my sons and their sons shall
follow me!"
The modern Phantom is the 21st of the line. Since Feb. 17, 1936, he has been the law in his
dangerous part of the world, a one-man police force, a silent avenger who appears and
vanishes like lightning. His home is the fearsome "Skull Cave," deep in the heart of his
jungle. His only intimates have been the faithful Bandar, his great white horse Hero, his
savage gray wolf Devil, and his lovely American sweetheart Diana Palmer.
Through the years, The Phantom has become efficient with many weapons and forms of
fighting, but the weapons of choice most closely associated with him are his custom 1911
Colts and the iconic rings of good and evil.
The American ring size conforms to the following measurements:
10 = 19.8 mm inner diameter
12 = 21.46 mm inner diameter
