      In the first two chapters the Phantom is seen immersed up to his neck in the swamp bog, yet when he arrives at Tonga Village he is perfectly dry, not a speck of mud on him.

    Nostalgia is sometimes more than just memory.
    For me as a young boy in the early 1950's going to the flicks on a Saturday arvo with my siblings was my introduction to the wonderful world of show biz and entertainment. Although watching much G rated fun I didn't see this serial but watching it now has helped me relive those times. The Phantom comic was and has been my favorite comic from that same era and this serial closely follows the iconography of those stories and now feel a glow of gratitude for the effort put in by all involved, especially Tom Tyler who made a great Phantom. Sure this is no masterpiece but boy is it entertaining.
