Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 9,735 I remember the first time I saw a colour version of the Phantom...I was "What the hell? He`s purple?!?!"

Of course this means that its protagonist, Walt Wallet, is now approximately 112 years old. The only character in all of literature who has been described as "badnass" while using the phrase "vile miscreant."
