"I am but a stranger-as we all are. Lonely inside our separate skins, we cannot know each others pain and must bear our own solitude. For my part, I have found that walking soothes it; and that, given luck, sometimes we find one to walks besides us-at least for a little way." - Alan Moore.
How did we go this long without a Phantom Stranger thread? Shame! Shame! ::rings bell:: Shame!

My single favorite issue featuring Phantom Stranger and the one that made me a fan of the character lo those many years ago when it was released...

Thanks man. He's been one of my favorites for a long time but sadly doesn't get much love. Originally Posted by matt levin

When Stranger and Bats interact in comics I like to think they both wonder why the other sounds so similar. Originally Posted by John Venus
