For the first time ever, the Avon edition of The Phantom is back in print! Hermes Press is proud to announce that they will be publishing all fifteen pocket Avon books, starting in August 2016 and continuing until the conclusion of the series in Volume 15! This exciting installment, Volume 8 offers the tale: "The Hydra Monster!" Famed artist George Wilson (Dr. Solar, Magnus Robot Fighter, The Phantom) painted the cover for Volume #8 as he did with all of the covers used for the Avon series, and they are reproduced beautifully to keep all of the details from the original books intact for a new generation of Phans to enjoy! What is the meaning of HYDRA - a mysterious evil that spans oceans and continents? Who are the black clad men- with V's tattooed on shaven skulls - who appear in the wake of wars, earthquakes, fires, and other catastrophes? The final mumbled words of a dying man draw the PHANTOM into an amazing web of violence, crime, and murder - the web of THE HYDRA MONSTER.
