About 1/4 of the way and I am thoroughly enjoying myself a lot. Don't get to see this character too often. A good way to jump deeper into DC lore. I am happy more and more omnibuses are coming out. Can't wait to collect them all. Have a blast and buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Phantom Stranger Omnibus Review
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023

The Phantom Stranger Omnibus contains material from: Phantom Stranger 1-6 (1952-1953), Showcase 80 (1969), Phantom Stranger 1-41 (1969-1976), Brave and the Bold 89, 98, & 145, Justice League of America 103, DC Super Stars 18, House of Secrets 150, DC Comics Presents 25 & 72, Saga of the Swamp Thing 1-15, Batman and the Outsiders 8, Secret Origins 10 (1987) and a single page from Who's Who of the DC Universe 18.

This omnibus contains just about every appearance of the Phantom Stranger from the 1950's to the 1980's (outside of cameos, like him showing up in Uncanny X-Men 125 where Terry Austin threw him (and Popeye) in a background.) There are guest stars galore: from big names like Batman, Superman and Deadman to side characters like the Spawn of Frankenstein, Dr Thirteen and even the actual writers of the stories Len Wein and Gerry Conway.

When looking at the table of contents page there is a very important note: "Some stories from the 1952 Phantom Stranger were reedited with new framing sequences for the second volume published in 1969. These tales are presented in their original unedited form but have been arranged in the most logical reading order." What this means is some of the Golden Age Phantom Stranger stories are randomly placed in the 1960's section where they were reprinted. I can verify with the actual copy of the 1969 P.S. 1 I own that a three page sequence has been removed and just the 50's story is in that place.

In fact, this omnibus does not contain the complete issues. Any non Phantom Stranger material is dropped. Backup features showcasing Dr. Thirteen, the Spawn of Frankenstein, Black Orchid and Mark Merlin are not included. If the reader wants to know the story behind the P.S. 14 cover the "Spectre of the Stalking Swamp" too bad, that's a Dr. Thirteen story. (It's probably a guy in a costume. That's how most Dr. Thirteen stories go.)

Despite being a pre comics code book the 1950's P.S. was fairly gentile with the P.S. revealing any supernatural event as a hoax. It's very Scooby Doo before Scooby Doo.

The quality of the stories is mostly good with occasional flashes of excellence or stumbles into bad. They are entertaining regardless with the Phantom Stranger being Cool even when the stories aren't. Great art throughout by Jim Aparo, Neal Adams, Carmine Infantino and others.

Casual reading of the Phantom Stranger Omnibus is hard. The book weighs a good five pounds (or more) and holding it and reading it can be difficult unless it is laid flat on the table, which is inconvenient. The Archive format would have been a better fit for the material with the 50's work being its own volume and the Silver age archives books could contain the missing back up features. This is currently the only book to contain the 1950's Phantom Stranger stories, though, so that and all the included side books makes this a overall good buy.

I have read many OG Phantom Stranger stories and can’t wait for this oversized edition. However, it has not been published yet. So no need to seek it out yet!

I very much began enjoying this omnibus, until I got to pages 257 - 263, which were repeated. I then discovered that pages 265 thru 280 were missing entirely, so on the presumption that any replacement copy would contain the same errors, I returned it for a refund.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good
Reviewed in Canada on April 21, 2024

I bought it for the earliest strips drawn by Carmine Infantino. These were alet down only because the stories all had non'supernatural conclusions like an episode of scooby Doo.
The later episodes include much more including 2 excellent issues by Mike Sekowsky, a crazy issue by Alan Moore and Joe Orlando and a whole lot of first class issues by Jim Aparo!
Not recommended because of the high cost but if you can spare few bucks on a mixed bag it's worth it!

This omnibus is essential if you like the dark, weird side of 60s DC. It even has the 50s original run, which was new to me.
I was bit annoyed that the price dropped £5 for this (very expensive) omnibus between ordering and dispatch. I thought Amazon refunded price drops - it has with other purchases (which is good), but not with this one. Maybe it's just for pre-orders. Just watch out for the price on this - it is all over the place and has dropped for £77. It's currently £92 (worth it if you can afford it)

Partner is happy. Really heavy book that we had to wait a while to get. Amazon even lowered the price and charged less just before dispatching.
