Behind the scenes

  • When this story was first published, the current was considered to be the 20th in the Phantom line. Thus, his grandfather was referred to as the 18th Phantom and his father as the 19th. This has been changed in later reprints to be consistent with the current Phantom being the 21st, his father the 20th and his grandfather (who was married to Jane Walker) the 19th Phantom.
