We're taking a peek behind the mask at the lives of the men who created our purple hero. We speak to Lee Falk’s daughter Valerie about her father and his creations, take you through the lives of the early artists who worked on the strip, explore the indelible effect WWII has on the world of The Phantom – and how The Ghost Who Walks inspired resistance movements across Europe against the Nazis. Plus a little tidbit about one of the founding father’s of cinema Frederico Fellini being obsessed with The Phantom. But you’ll have to listen to find out!
