Preserving the Phantom: October 2019
Chronicle Chamber's Phantom Preservation Project (P3) has been given a massive boost in the last month or so, with Jermayn sourcing an absolute treasure trove of Phantom history. Keeping his ear to the ground as always, Jermayn was able to save a few boxes of newspaper clippings and other assorted Phantom curiosities, available "clutter" after the estate sale of a devoted phan and collector. With the assistance of Phantom phans and Chronicle Chamber Patreon supporters, we hav

Rebranding Chronicle Chamber
Chronicle Chamber has been around since 2006, and we've had a few different iterations since then! Different website platforms, various backgrounds and site logos have come and gone over the years. Hopefully most of it has passed the casual viewer fairly seamlessly, but we do like to keep things fresh and current, as well as providing a quality experience for you the consumer. To that end, at our recent AGM in Sydney we decided that it was time for another freshen up! The bi

Video Review: Don Newton's Complete Phantom
The Don Newton book published by Hermes Press has not disappointed! The collection of Charlton stories, essays, interviews and artwork gathers together the complete works of a man that many regard as one of their favourite Phantom artists. In the video review below, we look over Don Newton's Complete Phantom in detail. Fair to say we love the attention to detail that Dan Herman and the team have put into this volume. Make sure you watch to the end as we have a special competi

Phantom Preservation Project Continues to Grow
The last twelve months have been a massively busy time here in the ChronicleChamber offices. It sure feels like the website and the podcast is going from strength to strength, and the growing readership and listening numbers suggest to us that we are on the right track at least! One huge area of growth for us has been the continued expansion of the Phantom Preservation Project (P3). It was a huge change as we re-structured the way we stored all those digital Phantom goodies a

P3 gets a makeover
Another newspaper article featuring The Phantom has been published in the mainstream media today, and it gives us the perfect excuse to promote our Phantom Preservation Project! Phantom by Gaslight author Christopher Sequeira recently took the opportunity of a new road naming in his local area to promote The Phantom and Frew Publications in his local paper, the Inner West Courier. Christopher was joined by cosplayer Philip Vincent for the article, which has been picked up and

Preservation Project Update - Phantom 2040, Season Two
It's almost Christmas, so I wanted to give you guys the first update of our Preservation Project just before the fat man in the red suite arrived as a special little gift from ChronicleChamber. For our first update we'd like to share with you the complete Season Two of Phantom 2040! As I'm sure you're all aware, despite 2040's cult status among not only Phantom phans but also fans of 90's cartoons the series has only ever seen a release of it's first season on DVD...and that

Introducing - The Phantom Preservation Project
Today, I’m very happy to announce the Phantom Preservation Project. The Phantom Preservation Project, or P3 as I like to call it (cause I’m a nerd), is planned to be a repository for all out-of-print Phantom media. Newspaper articles, phan club newsletters, music from decades ago, no-longer-published magazines and more will be housed here for generations of phans to enjoy. There is a a lot of Phantom stuff out there though, so this will be an on-going, ever evolving project!

Another Try at a Message Board
Hello Phans, As mentioned on X-Band ep #56 bringing back a Phantom message board has been talked about a little with people wishing to see its return so as to have a more dedicated place to discuss our purple hero. The CC Team have sat down and discussed how we could make this work. After much deliberation we've decided it could be done, however we will need your help. As many of you know we started the Patreon a while back to help cover the costs of running the site. The add

Hero Complex Tour Begins
Sammy J's tour of his award-winning show Hero Complex starts this week, and so the Australian comedian has filmed a series of promotional short video clips featuring the Phantom. The first of these was published on his Facebook page earlier today; you can watch it here. The amusing promo features a Phantom who is clearly very devoted to the Old Jungle Saying "Call the Phantom anywhere and he will hear". It's a light-hearted but very respectful interpretation of our hero, and

A Look Back at 2016
With 2017 officially here it is the perfect time to look back at the year that was. 2016 was another big year for not only we here at ChronicleChamber but also the Phantom himself. Join us as we look back at the biggest stories of last year. 80th Anniversary: February 17, 2016 saw Lee Falk's hero turn 80 years young. Still enjoying any level of popularity after 80 years is an achievement for any fictional character but The Phantom still enjoys on-going publication in Australi

X-Band: The Phantom Podcast #50!
Yes, it's here - X-Band: The Phantom Podcast's 50th episode! There's no congratulating quite like self congratulating and the team are doing plenty of that as they reminisce about their favourite episodes and guests. The boys are joined by an extra special guest who, needless to say, is a blast from the past. The Ghost Who Stats gets a guernsey, all our Patreon supporters get a shout out and finally, the Goof Reel is back. Enjoy! #AndreasEriksson #BradleyPeach #DudleyHogarth

Support Our Patreon, Get More Content
Even with the move to Wix, ChronicleChamber still costs a lot to run. Hosting fees, domain fees, podcast-making fees...It all adds up. As before, we'd like to call on any Phans who enjoy what we present here on the site and the X-Band podcast who feel they may be able to spare $1 (or more, we won't argue) to help support the site. All money raised via the Patreon goes directly back into the website. We don't spend it on comics or collectables, we spend it on making ChronicleC

Welcome to ChronicleChamber v6.0
If you've been following the site for a little while you might know that ChronicleChamber has had a few different homes over its 10 years. Well, after much consideration I decided it was again time to move out of the house that had served the site well and, with a sentimental tear in my eye, relocate to a place that better suited the site and what I want for it going into 2016 and beyond. The decision to move has been forming for a little while now, at least as early as Janua
