Notes: The story of the Black Ghost (#1) stretches back into the early part of the 20th century. Sometime around 1919 - 1927, Herbert Welch created the iconic black white and yellow ghost.

Don's polar bear wing is one of the more elegant versions, using the coveted translucent Arctic bear hair and finished with richly colored jungle cock.
