This guy is one of my favorites that DC never seems to do a lot with. I'm glad to see him get a blog dedicated to him at last. Looking forward to reading this!
I never did get the PHantom Stranger's books. ONly recently read my first one. It was pretty good. Maybe I can pick up the Showcase presents books. I hate black and white reprints but at lease I can afford those.
I was introduced to Phantom Stranger through a guest appearance in "Brave and the Bold." Automatic childhood soft spot, despite this being the strangest (*ahem*) idea for a daily blog I've ever encountered. There's actually an Ant-Man blog, with a noted preference for Scott Lang, just to give you a frame of reference. I will read this daily, as Phantom Stranger is one of those characters I'm largely ignorant of in solo form. Plus, Jim Aparo! Loves that man.
P.S. Still waiting on someone to launch a Captain Comet blog. Also, Captain America daily. Really surprised I couldn't find that second one...
I'm familiar with The Phantom Stranger because of his Brave and Bold appearances mostly. I really love the fact that you dedicate the blog to Jim Aparo, Len Wein, Neal Adams, etc. All of them greats! I'm really looking forward to learning more about the Phantom Stranger with this blog, that is, as much as the Stranger himself allows to be known.
Counting down Rob, counting down! We'll get to see some great Jim Aparo art and some Paul Kupperberg stories as well (shameless ploy to curry favor but truthful).
So this hasn't started yet? I haven't "missed" anything? Yay! So cool. You seem to share two comic-book passions of mine, Aquaman and the Phantom Stranger, and I can't thank you enough for this site. An in-depth study of the fedora-ed one is definitely long overdue. And please don't skimp on the Cassandra Craft info!

OOOh, the Phantom Stranger!!!!
I don't know much about him besides his JLA appearances (but really, does ANYONE?) so this should be fun. :-)

I see a familiar cover there to the right...

Woo hoo! Best of luck with this new venture, Rob! I look forward to it and know it'll be just as terrific as the other blogs!

Can't wait!
