If you are talking about The Phantom by Lee Falk, then yes. Actually The Phantom started as a comic strip in 1936 and it was only later did he show in comic book form. The Phantom's comic book career was never very steady. He joined the cast of Ace Comics, which already included such King Features properties as Krazy Kat and Blondie, in 1938. He stayed there until the title's demise in 1949. During the 1950s, Harvey Comics published several issues of Harvey Hits reprinting the old strips. In 1962, Gold Key Comics started publishing him on a regular basis. That series was taken over by King Comics in 1966, and by Charlton in 1969. The Charlton series lasted until 1977. DC Comics was the next comic book publisher to do a Phantom series, with 17 issues appearing between 1988 and 1990. Also, Comics Revue magazine has run reprints of The Phantom's daily strips since the mid-1980s. The Phantom's comic books have been more successful overseas than in America. In Australia, Frew Publications has put out a successful reprint series, which to date has had over 1,000 issues. Since 2003, Moonstone Books has been publishing him in the form of both comic books and graphic novels, in new stories as well as reprints from the newspapers. The Phantom's media history includes a 1940s movie serial, a half-dozen Big Little Books, a 1996 feature film starring Billy Zane, and a series of paperback novels published between 1972 and '75. A descendant of his (the 24th Phantom) appeared in 33 half-hour animated episodes of the syndicated TV show Phantom 2040 (which Marvel published a comic book version of in 1995). Another animated series, Defenders of the Earth, broadcast in 1987 (and also made into a short-lived Marvel comic), deserves special mention, for the highly implausible teaming of the character with Flash Gordon and Mandrake the Magician.
