Prabaharan Vs Phantom "The Ghost who walks"
I used to read Muthu comics in my child hood days. I was very much impressed by the character of Phantom (Vedalan in Tamil).I have read the first Muthu comics book Vedalanin Sorkkam.The story is only about Eden. Phantom(Vedalan) is a character inspired not only people like me but many. I was surprised to know this character has a great impact for the LTTE supremo Prabaharan also.
PHANTOM
In a world where many still hold to the supernatural, many truly believe that The Phantom is an undying avenger of wrongs. The truth is far less exotic, but no less fantastic; The Phantom is the product of a centuries-long family tradition of heroism and protection of the innocent. Each from the 16th century to the most recent one in 2056, swears the Code of the Phantom upon the same skull and does his utmost to live by its precepts. Each has Skull Cave as his headquarters. Each wears the same rings, which are used to mark friend and foe alike, and each focuses upon the same nefarious enemy: the Sengh Brotherhood, an organization of pirates and slavers that (in the contemporary and future junctures) expanded world-wide into terrorism and contraband trafficking.
The origin story began with Christopher Standish, who once served as Christopher Columbus' cabin boy, now acting as captain of a commerce vessel attacked by pirates. His young son, Kit, the sole survivor of the ordeal, sees his father slain by the pirate leader. Washing up on a distant African shore, Kit is befriended by the Bandar, a tribe of friendly pygmies. There he dwells in a cave which resembles a human skull. After discovering the body of the pirate who murdered his father, Kit swears an oath on the skull of the killer. His promise to fight piracy and injustice is carried out by his descendants for 400 years making him seem immortal to all but the pygmies.
Author of the Character:
In 1936, Lee Falk, the young writer of a two year old comic strip, Mandrake the Magician, launched a second strip, The Phantom, which featured the first costumed hero portrayed in the medium. Falk's dream was to break into theatre and he saw comics as a way to support himself while he pursued that endeavor.
The tale of the Phantom was a blend of mystical elements and realism. Drawing on the influences of classic literature, mythology, history, current events, and theatre, Falk provided something for everyone.
VELU PILLAI PRABAHARAN:
Angered as a teenager by what he saw as discrimination against Tamils in politics, employment and education, he began attending political meetings and practising martial arts.

PHANTOM & DIANA FAMILY

Foundation of the LTTE movement was much similar to the cause of the story of Phantom I of Phantom Dynasty. If you note the life of Phantom is in the African forest and favourite place is Eden.
