Synopsis
For the first time ever, the Avon edition of The Phantom is back in print! Hermes Press is proud to announce that they will be publishing all fifteen pocket Avon books! This exciting installment, Volume 13 offers the classic Lee Falk tale: “The Island of Dogs!” Famed artist George Wilson (Dr. Solar, Magnus Robot Fighter, The Phantom) painted the cover for Volume #13 as he did with all of the covers used for the Avon series, and they are reproduced beautifully to keep all of the details from the original books intact for a new generation of Phans to enjoy! Why is the supposedly uninhabited Island of Dogs surrounded by an electrified fence which protects miles of rail tracks and concrete barracks? Those who venture to this island are confronted with warnings to leave and a shower of gun fire. Wh controls this island and what is their purpose? Only the Phantom can successfully penetrate its deadly mystery.
