Which Are The Best Phantom Stories?

I want to like The Phantom. I really do. I've read various versions of the character, ranging from some of Lee Falk's original strips to the contemporary one to the Charlton comic books to the DC ones to Moonstone ones. I've watched several of the cartoons and the Billy Zane movie. And I just haven't found any of the versions that interesting or compelling.

But I still WANT to like the character.

I mean, it sounds like a great concept. You've got this guy who fights injustice where it's needed, using whatever natural skills and training he can bring to the table. Plus, he passes down his mantle from generation to generation so there's a continuity across hundreds of years. He's got a pretty decent costume and he lives in the jungle. Not to mention that there have been some really great artists to work on the character, including the current strip illustrator Paul Ryan, whose work I've enjoyed for years.

But I just haven't been able to really enjoy the character.

So let me ask if anyone out there has any particularly favorite Phantom stories or creators that the could recommend. Any Phantom fans that can direct me to which stories will really sell it to me?
