    THE GHOST WHO WALKS IS FINALLY GOING HOME

    After the climactic confrontation with friend-turned-foe Peter Quisling high above the streets of Midtown Manhattan, The Phantom finds himself on the run and quite literally a man without a country.

But the road back is, of course, fraught with danger at every turn… even for a Man Who Cannot Die. Bengali’s blood-soaked military junta may be the least of Kit’s problems when he is forced to face the secret history of the Phantoms and the resurrected ghost of his own father!
