THE PHANTOM VS. THE RED DRAGONS #1
Writer: Ray Fawkes
Artist: Lynne Yoshii
Colorist: JUANCHO!
Letterer: Taylor Esposito
THE PHANTOM MUST DIE!
But how do you kill a Ghost? The Red Dragons are gonna try – and anyone who gets in the way is just collateral damage! When someone in The Phantom’s familiar cowl starts sinking the Dragons’ pirate operations, Princess Sin goes on the warpath. The South China Sea belongs to the Red Dragons – and they’re not afraid of one man in a mask. Not yet.
“Long-time readers of The Phantom will know the name of the notorious Red Dragon Pirates, and it’s my pleasure to bring them back and introduce them to new readers, too,” said Ray Fawkes. “These bloody-minded troublemakers are exactly the kind of villains The Phantom swore to defend against, and they’re giving him more trouble than usual in this action-packed story!”
Lynne Yoshii added, “It's been an honor to add my art to such a legendary character like The Phantom! It's the kind of project that reminds you why you fell in love with comics in the first place.”
The Phantom vs. The Red Dragons One-Shot soars into comic shops June 17, 2026, with Final Order Cut-off on May 25.
