The Phantom rides again: the 1969 annual reproduces Issue #16’s Chaney cover — a painting that would later front Issue #171 as well — over the Mummy’s Ghost filmbook from Issue #36, Invasion of the Saucer Men from Issue #38, and the Colossal Man romp “Inside Darkest Acula.”

Curious where this copy came from? Every book here has a history — ask me in the Groups.
