The Phantom, one of the first and still one of the most popular heroes of the comics, is the descendent of an English seafarer who, over 463 years ago, washed ashore in Bangalla after a pirate raid and swore an oath over the skull of his father's murderer that he and his descendents would devote their lives to "...the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty and injustice..." (The Oath of the Skull). The Phantom's name is generally given as Kit Walker. The Phantom is known as "The Ghost Who Walks" and "Man Who Cannot Die". Diana Palmer was The Phantom's girlfriend from the first story; they married in 1977 and now have two small children, Kit and Heloise. His base and family home is in the Skull Cave in the "Deep Woods" in the country of Bangalla, an ill-defined mythical locale apparently in Africa judging by the stories depicting black natives and cities.
