The story:
The Oogaan tribe treat the Whispering Grove as a sacred forest in which they bury their dead and wed their couples. They also carve magnificent figurines out of the special wood (see also S092 The Golden Wood).

Sometimes outsiders manage to trace the beautiful artwork back to its source with the help of a local guide who shares his employers' greed. Combine that with trigger-happy killers who do not hesitate to bomb a whole village to reach their objective and you have another tricky situation for the Phantom to solve...

Watch out for:

  • A chainsaw massacred
  • Emergency surgery
  • A village under siege
