Geek culture IS popular culture now. And in the next 15 years, we’ll hit the point where superheroes as a concept have been around for a century. But you know what’s weird? Not many people know about the masked vigilante who started it all: The very first super hero. The Phantom. We're taking you into the murky world of publishing in the early 20th century (like Mafia murky) and into the origin story of the purple suit wearing, jungle dwelling, justice seeking hero; Kit Walker a.k.a. The Phantom
