Hermes Press has previously published Howard Chaykin’s Buck Rogers, and now they are bringing The Phantom back to the comic scene with writer Peter David and artist Sal Velluto! Hermes Press will be hosting a panel at the convention Friday from 2-3 pm that is celebrating this comic icon and the all-new story that is set to come out this October.
