The Story of the Phantom is a twenty-book series by Ron Goulart that ran primarily through the 1970s, with the first entry appearing in 1972 and a final book, The Phantom, published much later in 1996. Tagged as cozy mystery and paranormal, the series follows the adventures of the Phantom character across a wide range of stories with titles like The Slave Market of Mucar, The Veiled Lady, The Golden Circle, and The Mysterious Ambassador.
The bulk of the series came out in quick succession between 1972 and 1975, with multiple books released each year. Titles such as The Hydra Monster, The Swamp Rats, The Vampires and the Witch, and The Curse of the Two-Headed Bull give a sense of the pulpy, adventure-heavy tone. After a long gap following the 1975 entries, the series returned with a standalone final book in 1996. Readers should start with The Story Of The Phantom and work through in publication order for the full experience.
