The very first Phantom Sunday strip. Originally published from 28 May
1939 to 15 Oct 1939. Not my own coloring, just converting Spanish scans into English.
The story: (from this index)
A ship heading for a penal colony to deliver hundreds of prisoners hits bad
weather and sinks outside Bengali’s coast. Deciding against returning to the
civilisation and facing prison yet again, the survivors remain in the wild
where they survive by terrorising and extorting local villages.
Stumbling over another lucrative source of
illegal revenue, the band kidnaps a professor and his daughter with a view to
obtaining a ransom. But the crime has already been discovered by the Phantom,
who does not lose any time saving the professor's daughter, but walks straight
into a trap when returning to save Devil from a gruesome death...
