Yet another year with Covid-19 has left the Scandinavian Chapter without our usual sources of income. No meetings and no fairs equals zero income for us. So if you are a Phan of the Phantom and like the service we provide to you and fellow Phans, through this PhantomWiki we therefore, ask you to donate to the cost of running it. |

Trivia
- This is the first full-length US Phantom comic story produced for a magazine, rather than as a daily or Sunday strip. It's also the first full-length US Phantom story not to be credited to Lee Falk, although it is a new version of one of Falk's 1954 daily stories.
- Although the number of "the current Phantom" isn't mentioned in this story, the one-page introduction of The Phantom #1, which originally served as an introduction to this story and the entire line-up of Gold Key's Phantom production, states that "our" Phantom is the 16th of the line.
- This is also, for obvious reasons, the first appearances of the Phantom, Devil, Hero and Diana in a Gold Key story.
