To tell the full story of Marvel, this week we head back to 1996 to take a deep-dive into the world’s first superhero - The Phantom! In this episode we’ll take you behind-the-page to a time before Superman, before Batman, to discover the CREATION OF THE SUPERHERO! We’ll explore the creation of the first ever superhero costume, the invention of the first ever superhero mask, and how these designs influenced every single superhero that followed, and all the elements that were heavily ripped off by Batman a few years later! We’ll also take you behind-the-scenes on the 1996 Phantom movie, find out the cinematic history of The Ghost Who Walks, and why the movie BOMBED at the box office! We’ll explore the Phantom’s HUGE popularity all around the world, including his very own theme park(!), and then we’ll deep-dive the movie itself and bring you the history, trivia and mythology of The Phantom!
