Phantom Eagle is the name used by three fictional comic book aviator heroes. The first was introduced during the 1930s-1940s Golden Age of comic books by Fawcett Comics. The other two have appeared sporadically in various series published by Marvel Comics. The first Phantom Eagle was introduced by un-credited creators in Fawcett Comics' Wow Comics #6 (July 1942). Following his debut, the Golden Age Phantom Eagle appeared in every issue of Wow through the final issue, #69 (August 1948). His primary writer-artist was Marc Swayze. The Phantom Eagle was teenager Mickey Malone, who, though forbidden by superior officer Sergeant Flogg at his military airbase in Great Britain, was determined to fight the World War II Axis powers. Donning an aviator-styled costume and building his own airplane, he takes the name Phantom Eagle and becomes a secret ace. He later forms the Phoenix Squadron, a group of fellow teen pilots. During the post-war period, Malone formed a charter airline and searched for the Golden Chalice, a lost artifact upon which is inscribed the "Formula for Peace". The second Phantom Eagle was an unrelated World War I hero created by writer Gary Friedrich and artist Herb Trimpe
