He wreaks havoc on the opera house when demands of his are not met but falls in love with a young singer named Christine DaaƩ in the process, resulting in a love triangle between Christine, her lover Raoul de Chagny, and himself. ![]() Anyone who is not familiar with the story should know that The Phantom of the Opera tells the story of Erik (the eponymous Phantom), a facially disfigured man hiding not only behind a mask but also in the shadows of the Paris Opera House in France.

This is a comic book (I can't really say graphic novel because of how short that it is) adaptation of Gaston Leroux's 1911 novel The Phantom of the Opera, textually adapted by Joeming Dunn and illustrated by Rod Espinosa. ![]()
