The Ghost Who Walks Faces His Deadliest Enemy Yet in a High-Stakes Battle Against Arif Singh and the Brotherhood in The Phantom vs. The Singh Brotherhood

The Phantom walks. Evil dies. Mad Cave Studios and King Features Syndicate have announced The Phantom vs. The Singh Brotherhood, an explosive new 40-page one-shot bringing Lee Falk’s legendary hero into direct conflict with one of the deadliest criminal forces on the planet.

Written by Ray Fawkes with inks and colors by The Phantom series artist Russell Olson, and letters by Taylor Esposito, the issue features Cover A by Mark Spears and Cover B by Freddie Williams II and Andrew Dalhouse.

It’s all come down to this—The Phantom vs. Arif Singh and his Brotherhood! After the Brotherhood’s failed attack on Bangalla, Singh was all set to rot in prison. But concrete walls cannot stop the man who controls one of the most notorious criminal enterprises in the world. Only The Phantom can. Or this time, he might just die trying.

For nearly 90 years, The Phantom has stood as one of comics’ definitive pulp heroes. Known as “The Ghost Who Walks,” the legendary protector of Bangalla helped shape the masked vigilante archetype with generations of stories rooted in justice, myth, and a relentless war on evil.

A collectible chapter for longtime Phantom readers and fans of globe-spanning pulp adventure, The Phantom vs. The Singh Brotherhood delivers classic heroism, explosive action, and high-stakes crime fiction as the Ghost Who Walks faces one of his deadliest enemies yet.

The Phantom vs. The Singh Brotherhood goes one-shot drops in shops August 19, 2026, with Final Order Cutoff on July 27.

THE PHANTOM MUST DIE!

But how do you kill a Ghost? The Red Dragons are gonna try – and anyone who gets in the way is just collateral damage! When someone in The Phantom’s familiar cowl starts sinking the Dragons’ pirate operations, Princess Sin goes on the warpath. The South China Sea belongs to the Red Dragons – and they’re not afraid of one man in a mask. Not yet.

Written by Ray Fawkes with art by Federico Sabbatini, colors by JUANCHO!, and letters by the award-winning Taylor Esposito, this one-shot follows the trail laid in The Phantom #1-5 with a new story perfect for fans of the series and brand-new readers. The Phantom vs. The Sky Band pits The Ghost Who Walks against a ruthless band of mercenaries who believed technology and altitude made them untouchable. They were wrong.

The Sky Band entered the Phantom’s domain when they took blood money to carry the Singh Brotherhood into Bangalla. They thought their helicopters would make them untraceable, immune. Now the mercenaries-for-hire will face the Phantom’s wrath. Those who survive…will be irreparably MARKED.
