NotesTHE PHANTOM RANGER 87 by Peter Chapman was published by Frew in December 1956 (approximately). This issue is late in the run of original Phantom Ranger stories – in less than 10 issues, this comic became a reprint title. This art in this comic looks quite flat – Wilkinson has been writing and drawing this comic for approaching six years, and it shows.

Someone's not exactly up on their U.S. history: the first page says "Hundreds of years ago a white boy was rescued by the Navajo Indians..." and "Some 200 years later a masked man still rode the plains." So if the stories are set in the 1880s, for example, then the boy would have been rescued from a wagon train in the 1680s? Oh well, one doesn't read comics to learn history.

The history of the Phantom Ranger has been rewritten over the course of the comic's run. In issue 2 (the earliest we have here), there's no mention of the boy being rescued from a wagon train - he was just 'rescued'. But the simplest truth is that the Phantom Ranger is a knock-off of the Phantom (in this case, with elements of the Lone Ranger added in). Frew published both the Phantom and the Phantom Ranger, so there was no risk of legal action about the similarities. The company obviously was looking to have another title to sell to the same audience.

Well the Phantom connection also explains the Phantom Ranger's mask. And the fact that he doesn't wear a cowboy hat, like most other Western heroes.
