At its peak, the strip was read by over 100 million people daily and the character has been adapted for television, film and video games. <br><br> Appearing in more than 500 newspapers around the world, “The Phantom” now is penned by Mike Manley, written by Tony DePaul, and distributed by King Features.<br><br> Read the ARRL story at <br><a href="http://www.arrl.org/news/amateur-radio-keeps-phantom-in-touch-with-the-outside-world-from-the-skull-cave" target="_blank">http://www.arrl.org/news/amateur-radio-keeps-phantom-in-touch-with-the-outside-world-from-the-skull-cave</a><br><br> Wiki <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Phantom</a></p></div></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
