Holden McNeelyHOST
It's the only place I can steal from.
Mike LawrenceHOST
Yeah, but yeah, it's just, there's so, I think like, What's really cool too is anytime there are other DC characters in this that we're used to, you know, the Justice League, you know, Dead Man, the Phantom Stranger.
Jake YoungHOST
Etrigan?
Mike LawrenceHOST
Yeah.
12 MINS LATER
Jake YoungHOST
Yeah.
Jake YoungHOST
Yeah.
Jake YoungHOST
And it becomes this, I say, an even more captivating crossover event, because you bring in all these magic characters, Zatara, Zatanna, not the Phantom Stranger, Gorbo the Sorcerer, and it's really dumb.
Jake YoungHOST
All these characters that not even this massive crossover bothered to even check in on.
Chris FranklinHOST
Did you fall on your head? Okay, we made it into the cellar, avoided the giant vat of pink bubbling wax, and dug out a comic.
Chris FranklinHOST
The Phantom Stranger number 16 was cover dated November, December 1971, and according to Mike's Amazing World of Comics, was on sale September 14th, 1971.
Chris FranklinHOST
What do you think of this cover? I mean...
Cindy FranklinHOST
It puts you in mind of the movie House of Wax, you know?
speaker_9NARRATOR
It is said, not all those who wonder are lost.
speaker_9NARRATOR
But many are, and once lost, they may truly be lost forever.
Cindy FranklinHOST
The phantom stranger introduces the tale as we follow two robbers who break into the yet-to-open Tallow's Museum of the Occult.
Cindy FranklinHOST
The owner, the wheelchair-bound Judah Tallow, sorry, I'm still a bit on the nose about that, but anyway, confronts them, but the men threaten his life.

Matt GambleHOST
Entragon the Demon, I don't know the...
Matt GambleHOST
It's the Phantom Stranger, right?
speaker_7ADVERTISER
Yes, it
Matt GambleHOST
is.
Matt GambleHOST
I don't know a ton about the Phantom Stranger.
Matt GambleHOST
Outside of he is just kind of like...
Matt GambleHOST
I think of him as similar to like the Watchers.
Matt GambleHOST
But it just kind of caught me off guard because I'm like, I don't know why these two are here.
Eric Nolen-WeathingtonGUEST
He was very good at that.
Eric Nolen-WeathingtonGUEST
He was really good at doing horror and things like The Phantom Stranger.
Eric Nolen-WeathingtonGUEST
If you look at that, that's some of his best work, actually.
Eric Nolen-WeathingtonGUEST
It's probably The Phantom Stranger.
Eric Nolen-WeathingtonGUEST
So that was like the ideal.
Eric Nolen-WeathingtonGUEST
If you had to give him one superhero to do, that was probably the ideal one.
David C. RobersonHOST
No, I have, but I love it.
Jason GossHOST
I would love the idea of the Phantom Stranger trying to be the straight guy in this conversation, though, the whole time.
Jason GossHOST
Stop it.
David C. RobersonHOST
Stop it.
2 HRS 24 MINS LATER
Jason GossHOST
I know that exists.
Jason GossHOST
But other than that, I can't really think of anything.
David C. RobersonHOST
I mean, I feel like, you know, Phantom, okay, by virtue of the fact that, like, you have, like, a Phantom Stranger in the DC, the 2019 DC Universe Swamp Thing, we have a Phantom Stranger who is completely different than any other Phantom Stranger we've ever seen before, anything like him.
David C. RobersonHOST
You know, we've watched, you know, we've seen the Spectre happen, you know, in, you know, Earth-1, and he's different than the Earth-2 Spectre.
ShagHOST
Zatanna's on there.
ShagHOST
Phantom Stranger.
ShagHOST
Bloodwind.
ShagHOST
Because, hey, I mean, if Bloodwind's in it, you know it's good.
TiffanyHOST
Jinx.
SalHOST
Uh, I read "Superman and The Stranger," issue two, from Wes Craig.
SalHOST
This continues the story of, um, uh, you know, kind of like jazz era Superman, who is an orphan, who, like, is an orphan on both, you know, Krypton and Earth-bound, uh, concepts.
SalHOST
Lex Luthor's rising up and, uh, you know, becoming the evil billionaire capitalist that we all know and hate, and, uh...
5 MINS LATER
SalHOST
So yeah, uh, Superman continues-
TiffanyHOST
Mm
SalHOST
... uh, with the Stranger.
SalHOST
Lex Luthor's also, like cartoonishly evil.
John SiuntresHOST
Give me some titles that you worked on at D.C.
P. Craig RussellGUEST
Well, there's the Phantom Stranger, four issues of that that Mike Mignola drew, and his Superman issue, and a lot of inking in Invaders that Todd McFarlane drew, and various covers, two issues of a Batman special that Jim Starlin did layouts on.
P. Craig RussellGUEST
I'm pretty sure, I think Al was the editor on that, but he was constantly, you know, throwing stuff over for that.
P. Craig RussellGUEST
Yeah, that two issues of Starlin's Batman was fun to do.
ShagHOST
There'll be so many cameos and guest stars.
ShagHOST
Phantom Stranger, Brother Voodoo, Hela, Neuron, Gwen Stacy's ghost, etc.
ShagHOST
I'd buy it.
ShagHOST
So that does sound like a lot of fun, Dr. Ange.
