I know not of the 90s DC Phantom. Is that the one they still keep in Sunday comic print 'til now?
Also, it is quite great :) It doesn't try too hard to be like the original but at the same time it keeps true to the myths and even explains some of them.
Yeah, I wonder too. Most "future stories" seemed to indicate they'd share the Wandering Ghost Mantle (which wouldn't hurt the entire "supernatural entity" aspect of the legend...)
Unless it happened in some Phantom-related heroic blaze of glory, then I hope not. Heloise was always depicted as more fit for the Phantom role than Kit, but Kit had to work harder because the Phantom had to be male if there was any chance of it.
