    Uncle Kit: Phantom's Black Fandom

    Throughout history superheroes tend to have a bit of white saviour-ism about them. Which is why The Phantom’s fandom outside of a white audience is so damn fascinating! We’re exploring how our purple hero cam to be loved by Indigenous Australians. Plus we head to the West Highlands of Papua New Guinea where The Ghost Who Walks was painted onto wooden shields of the Wahgi people. Not for art, but for defense and intimidation during periods of inter-tribal fighting.

    The Ghost Who Walks Goes Global

    As WWII ends the first superhero grows into a hero for more than his white audiences. After criticism Black characters were depicted as "ignorant, superstitious coloured people", Falk and The Phantom artists move to correct the racial caricatures of the early Phantom stories. Plus we dive into the impact first and second wave feminism has on the female characters of the strip, and the phenomenal global impact our purple-suited hero begins to have: with three countries in particular… Sweden, India… and Australia! And one of the most influential Phantom comic artists, now 92-year-old Seymour (Sy) Barry joins the podcast to blow your MIND with stories from this period of incredible change.
