Following a four-issue miniseries, Phantom Stranger landed in the pages of Action Comics Weekly as a regular, rotating feature. The Stranger has always attracted top tier artistic talent (Carmine Infantino, Neal Adams, Jim Aparo, Mike Mignola, to name a few), and the trend continued in his ACW strip, including two tales drawn by probably the top talent of the day, the amazing Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. “The Devil Was a Baby” from ACW #623 (October 25, 1988) was the first.
