Issue 1 Synopsis
Set in Chicago during the 1920s, Martin struggles to find his place in the world. He suffered a debilitating leg injury as a fighter pilot in World War I and is rejected by society. Without the support of family or the ability to work, Martin is a homeless veteran roaming the streets of Chicago, living off of scraps of food he finds.
That is, until he rises from the ashes.
Through a series of unlikely events, Martin discovers that his knowledge of the streets can actually help the country he fought to defend. Working in the shadows as if he was a “phantom,” he encounters criminals and crime scenes, giving the police the hints and clues they need to clean-up the streets of Chicago.
Issue 2 Synopsis
After a narrow escape, Martin Claver is now in the crosshairs of crooked cops and nefarious Flambeau, both searching for a way to put an end to the Phantom Phoenix.
A jewelry store explosion is conveniently pinned on the Phoenix, and the entire city begins to doubt the intentions of the virtuous vigilante. Even Martin questions his own tactics, wondering if Chicago will ever welcome his crime-fighting capers.
Can Martin clear his name? Or will the fire of the Phoenix be snuffed out forever?
