The Daily Strip

This list is based on original research by Barry Stubbersfield (Queensland, Australia) conducted in the early 1980s. Barry was assisted by King Features with some inaccurate information on dates for stories, but only a tiny fraction of story titles were supplied (often incorrect!). Barry's lists were subsequently published by Frew and have been added to and modified by myself. Barry wished to acknowledge the assistance he received from Wally Bratasiuk (Adelaide, SA), Rosemarie Daniello (King Features Syndicate NY, USA) and Thomas McGeehan (Santa Anna, USA).

Story titles are shown as they were given in the strips, wherever available. Alternative titles are shown in parentheses. The most recent issue of each story in the Frew Phantom comic is indicated by the Last column. Generally, issue numbers greater than #910 are complete and unedited reprints.

Some Trivia:

The shortest daily stories were Adventure in Algiers (20 Jun - 23 Jul 1938) and The Wisdom of Solomon (23 Jan - 25 Feb 1956) which both ran for 5 weeks.
The longest daily story was The Phantom Goes To War (2 Feb 1942 - 9 Jan 1943) which ran for 49 weeks.
