Reprint Notes

From Phantom daily strips (King Features Syndicate) 1937-02-10 - 1937-02-13 and 1937-02-15 - 1937-02-18, but one panel is omitted from one of the two 4-panel strips on each page in order to fit 2 dailies on each 7-panel page.

Story Notes

The missing panel would've been the first on this page; it's first line is: "I wish to talk to this woman! Oh, you do?".
