The Phantom Page #6

An ancient order of evil.

They started out as pirates.

Nowadays, there's no telling

what they've become.

- Where did you get this?

- New York.

My uncle's newspaper

is investigating Xander Drax.

He's crazy, power-mad.

Take her back. Use every man

at your disposal and give her protection.

Wait!

You're going to send me away?.

I'm afraid so.

I came here to do a job,

and that's what I'm going to do.

There's a lot more I need to know.

Goodbye.

- Wait a second!

- Diana...

- Nobody argues with the Phantom and wins.

- Old jungle saying.

Oh, baby...

Oh, it is beautiful!

I used a little toothpaste on it.

It polished up so good.

Toothpaste? Really?.

That's nice.

You know,

I am in such a good mood right now.

I almost hate to mention this.

The happy home-coming!

Kind of brings a tear to the eye,

doesn't it? What went wrong?

- Something you didn't count on.

- Oh? Really?.

- And what was that?

- The Phantom.

- I thought that was a superstition.

- Oh, no. He's real.

And he won't die. I know,

I killed him once and he isn't dead.

- That doesn't make sense.

- Look, I brought this to prove it.

See this hole? That's where

I stuck him with a 12-inch blade.

You stabbed him in the back?.

I've underestimated you, Quill.

- Right up to the hilt.

- That should've done the trick.

The Phantom helped Diana to escape.

I think he's in love with her.

This is getting more interesting.

Why do you say that?

Because he could have had me...

but he picked her.

- That could only be love.

- Or simply bad judgement.

- So, what should we do about him?

- Do? Nothing.

This is New York. I'm not concerned

with some jungle hero half a world away.

Here. Keep the change.

Hey!

Not so fast, buddy-boy.

This isn't real money.

You're right, that's Bengalla currency.

Coin of the realm

would be appreciated.

- I'm afraid that's all I've got.

- It'd better not be.

All right, here...

Where is it?

These are opals.

And that's...

.. a star sapphire.

Take all of them.

Don't worry, they're real.

They'll secure your services

for the rest of the day, so wait here.

- You're kidding?

- I never kid.

God is dead,

and darkness rules the earth.

America is in financial ruin.

Europe and Asia

are on the brink of self-annihilation.

Chaos reigns.

But like I've always said,

there is opportunity in chaos.

And so, my brothers,

I give you...

.. the Skull of Touganda.

This skull is one of three.

When all three skulls are united,

they will produce a force

more powerful than any army on earth.

You've only got the one!

Legend has it

that if the skulls are separated,

two of the skulls

will point the way to the third.

- Like I said, you've only got...
