Zigomar was a Yugoslav adventure comic strip about the masked hero of the same name, created by artist Nikola Navojev and writer Branko Vidić.

[1] Zigomar was originally created by artist Nikola Navojev, a white émigré, and writer Branko Vidić.

[2] Zigomar got his name from the more famous French character of the same name, hero of pulp fiction novels and films.

[3] Serbian cartoonist Aleksandar Zograf and comic book artist and historian Zdravko Zupan suggest that the idea to name the character after the French Zigomar might have come from the owner and editor of the comic magazine Mikijevo carstvo, Milutin S. Ignjačević, who studied filmmaking in Prague and Munich and was one of Yugoslavia's early filmmakers.

[5] "Misterije Egipta" was announced as "the last Zigomar story", due to Navojev's health condition.

[6] Zigomar is a young man coming from a wealthy American family, who decided to leave the life of luxury and dedicate himself to fighting crime.

[2] Before the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, Zigomar Stories were reprinted in Plavi zabavnik, which was Mikijevo carstvo's publication, from 1939 to 1940.

Jovović sent issues of The Phantom published in Yugoslavia to Rhoades, and at one point sent him a copy of "Zigomar protiv Fantoma".

[8] Jovović stated: "When the Phantom fan club received the copy, it caused a real sensation.
