"By the middle 1930s, the editors at King Features had settled on their favourite style for adventure strips, the dry brush illustrative approach Alex Raymond was using on the daily "Secret Agent X-9" and the Sunday "Flash Gordon/Jungle Jim" page. Phil Davis was using a variation on Mandrake and Charles Flanders (fr) was persuaded to become an exponent when he took over X-9 and King of the Royal Mounted. It was natural therefore that Ray Moore would draw "the Phantom" in his best approximation of the Raymond look preferred by the syndicate." رون غولارت, "Introduction: Enter the Ghost Who Walks" in The Phantom : the complete newspaper dailies.
