It's only been a little over a week since we launched ChronicleChamber's Phundraiser for the Bushfire Appeal, and it's fair to say that we've been completely blown away by the response from the Phantom and broader artistic community.

In episode #140 of X-Band: The Phantom Podcast we go into detail about the project (listen through the player at the bottom of this page, or via your favourite podcast app), and you can also read below for...

He may only be two months short of his 92nd birthday, but Sy Barry is continuing to produce some simply magnificent Phantom images. 

Anyone who follows Sy's work on social media (see his Facebook page here) knows that his commission work is still top notch. The posters released last year - and still available via his website sybarry.com - are fantastic current examples of his work. 

Now Sy is releasing a brand new limited...

2020 looms as a year of sentimentality and celebration in Sweden as we lead up to the 70th Anniversary of the Fantomen magazine, first published way back on October 5 1950. 

We are led to believe that throughout 2020 we will see nostalgic reprints and new surprises. This begins with the very first issue of the anniversary year, which included a very special version of their traditional "Schedule" poster, featuring a prev...

So which did you think were the best Frew issues, stories and covers published in 2019?

After a huge response from the phans, the Best of Frew 2019 survey has been run and won. Today we're releasing the results - very exciting!

It was an expanded survey this year as we added a "Favourite Issue" category, and we were blown away by the entries - over 230 responses in all. The google form document went into hyperdrive on the last day i...

Something fun for everyone. Originally planned for Christmas Day but due to some unforeseen circumstances, this has been delayed until today. We decided to split this podcast into two with each episode being the individual read along tape. Hopefully this means they can be re-listened and enjoyed as per originally.

Do not forget the YouTube videos of each episode featuring the book so you can read along.

As most Phantom phans are undoubtedly aware, the summer of 2019/2020 has been and continues to be a particularly brutal one in Australia.

Unprecedented devastating bushfires have engulfed huge areas of our island continent. At the time of writing, 28 lives have been tragically lost including a number of heroic volunteer firefighters. On top of this, over 5900 buildings have been razed to the ground including over 2200 homes, 26 mil...

Roving reporter and Phantomer extraordinaire Duncan Munro is our host today as he explores Baltimore Comic-Con, 18-20 October 2019.

• Mike Gold - on the editorial team for DC's The Phantom series (1988-1990)

• Keith Williams - Daily artist (1994-2005)

• Mike Manley - Daily artist (2016-present)

• Bob McLeod - story and co...

The Swedish Phantom comic Fantomen have hosted votes about the best story for over 30 years, and now in their 70th year there is no exception. 

Like all elections it is important to vote! 

Even to non-Swedes this vote is important since it gives Team Fantomen and Egmont's editorial staff information about what type of stories you want to read in future issues. These days most Team Fantomen stories show up in Frew in Australia, the Norweg...

Luca Giorgi is an Italian comic artist who first came to the attention of the broader Phantom community as the cover colourist of Frew #1800, that memorable 2017 Christmas-themed cover by Massimo Gamberi.

Luca has since worked closely with Massimo on Phantom projects on several occasions, including colouring the cover of the well known Fumetto #106 [right] as well as Fumo di China #280. Luca also coloured M...
