Uncle Kit: Phantom's Black Fandom

07 Mar 2022 | 36 mins

Description

Throughout history superheroes tend to have a bit of white saviour-ism about them. Which is why The Phantom’s fandom outside of a white audience is so damn fascinating! We’re exploring how our purple hero cam to be loved by Indigenous Australians. Plus we head to the West Highlands of Papua New Guinea where The Ghost Who Walks was painted onto wooden shields of the Wahgi people. Not for art, but for defense and intimidation during periods of inter-tribal fighting.
