Are You Into Yoga?

I picked up the Hermes Press Phantom reprint issue at Free Comic Book Day this year. Always liked the Phantom in the newspapers, and the freebie didn't disappoint. Full of short two-fisted tales of jungle action the way The Phantom ought to be. When I got to the back cover ad for the new Hermes Press Phantom Series I got different surprise.


Diana Palmer, the woman on the right, is posed in a stereotypical ass out comics pose. What's alarming is the posture, which is pretty much not anatomically possible is incredibly over accentuated. What is great though is the look on the Phantom's face. He has a sort of "WTF?" disappointment as he wonders if he himself can get his wife to turn around like a normal person or if he could just disappear from the scene forever.

The picture is by Sean Joyce who will be drawing the new Hermes Press Phantom series.
