Julie Walker, the Lady Phantom, is an intriguing comic book heroine. The lineage of The Phantom goes back centuries, and is an hereditary crime-fighting and justice-seeking heroic role. Usually it is the eldest male of the line who becomes the mysterious masked figure, but occasionally a female will assume the purple costume and Julie Walker was the first such woman, taking on the role of Lady Phantom in the mid nineteenth century. Julie worked with her twin brother, Kit, the seventeenth Phantom, and if Kit was injured or absent, it would be Julie that assumed The Phantom mantle, as depicted in the above page. Both were born in the famed Skull Cave and received rigorous training from their father, the sixteenth Phantom, in the jungle, which equipped them with unarmed combat skills, proficiency in a range of weaponery as well all round athleticism. Like Batman and Batgirl the twins also received intellectual training making them fearsome researchers and detectives as well as street-savvy crime fighters.
Julie Walker was created as early as 1969 by Lee Falk, but it took more pro-feminist times for Lady Phantom to really receive the exposure she deserved, appearing regularly in the 2000s in Fantomen, Fantomet and Indragal comics. Walker was also known as The Ghost Who Walks for her mysterious appearance and apparently supernatural abilities.
