"Novelist David Liss has made his Marvel debut this week, penning the first issue of Daring Mystery Comics Special for the publisher. The writer is best-known for his historical thrillers including The Whiskey Rebels and The Devil&amp;#039;s Company. His latest comic book project will focus on the Phantom Reporter character and feature artwork by Jason Armstrong. &amp;quot;The Phantom Reporter is a minor character, with very little backstory, which gave me a room to create some depth and context and to contribute significantly to a character&amp;#039;s (if an admittedly minor one) history,&amp;quot; he told CBR.  &amp;quot;Also, because he&amp;#039;s not fundamentally plugged into the Marvel continuity, the character presented fewer problems for someone who had been away from comics for several years.&amp;quot; The Phantom Reporter first appeared in Daring Mystery Comics #3, dating back to the 1940s. More recently, the character has featured in J. Michael Straczynski and Chris Weston&amp;#039;s The Twelve, which began in 2007.  Daring Mystery Comics Special #1 hits comic book stalls this week.
