"The Phantom" appeared alongside many other comics in only a few pages in each issue except regular issue #36 and 1971 Annual which did not feature the Phantom at all.

    By the way, I was a big fan of the Man from UNCLE series in the 70s, along with Twilight Zone and Star Trek. There was a follow up series called "Girl from UNCLE" which totally sucked.

    @ Grouchy: You might have actually recorded more comments in the blog then what is shown on the Top Commentaror widget. The reason is that Google has restricted Comments and Posts Feeds to supply a maximum of 500 comments only at present. Which means that it will pick only latest 500 comments, and might ignore all the rest.

    So to stay on the top, we got to be always latest in our commenting spree. I guess this will encourage all those non-commenters to jump up the bandwagon.

    I have a similar widget running on my blog too, but it is hidden inside a post here : http://www.comicology.in/2005/10/index-of-comicology-bibliography.html, so that it doesn't take valuable load time on the home page :)

    @ Prabhat: Forgot to wish you on your 250th post accomplishment. As always, you rock dude. Keep enlightening us with these rare classic Gems.

    @Rafiq Raja: Welcome! Take a look at 500+ templates, tried in private reserved blog around 15. Started changing myself old template, but as you know I'm not related with programming, at present it's tough for me to make from old classic template a contemporary template. However, think in future could be able create my own or convert a wordpress premium template myself. Start reading from A,B, C .. about this part.

    @Rafiq Raja: You had done a nice job with your template. In fact you inspired me to start modification, here I'm a newborn baby. But I'm stubborn you know, decided to learn so will learn & know with me friends like you for giving hints.

    Thanks about 250th post! Once I thought max 50 posts will follow in this blog, now ..... :)
    I can't believe myself. Let see what future prepared for me. Due to personal life, forced to go slow, however I'll continue.
