    An Interview with Luca Giorgi

    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 Massimo's carton card from the 2019 The Phantom Gallery: Series 2 tradi

    Phantom Artists Honored in GI Joe

    GI Joe #263, released in April by IDW Publishing, features a special memorial day themed story called "Some Gave All". The story is written by Larry Hama (who has written almost every GI Joe comic story since this series began in 1982) and drawn by SL Gallant. In this story, the main characters visit the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial Wall in Washington DC to pay tribute to fallen friends. However, in a close-up panel the names on the wall are all comic industry professionals who

    Mythos Brazil Returns to Publish the Phantom in 2019

    The Phantom is Alive! Long Live the Phantom! Mythos Brazil is back publishing the Phantom. Brazil has such a rich publishing history with the Phantom, and was one of the handful countries that published Phantom comics prior to 1940. In fact at one stage, there were even people who believed that Brazil had published the world's first Phantom comic! Of the South American publishing houses, RGE from Editora Globo has the richest Phantom publishing history, creating their own sto

Mikael Lyck, a Phantom phan from Sweden (and from recently, a ChronicleChamber contributor) has taken it upon himself to design and produce a Phantom card game.

    Will we see the next part of the 22nd Phantom Saga soon?

    On the 1st February, Sal Velluto posted a progress image on Facebook which featured a female and male Phantom, each wearing a Phantom ring, with the Singh mark behind them. It does not take much to put it together that this is likely to be Heloise and Kit Jnr reprising their role as the future Phantoms trying to find out what happened to their Dad, the 21st Phantom, who has been missing for a year. At the top of Sal's sneak preview, it has the title "Shadow of an Enemy". Howe

I must congratulate Mikeal and the team for doing so and in reading their responses I learnt a bit and wanted to share it.

    For those who came in late... Earlier this week long-time author Tony DePaul announced that the current The Phantom stories are to be his last contributions to the Daily and Sunday newspaper strips. As the second-longest serving The Phantom author behind only Lee Falk, Tony will forever be remembered as a crucial part of Phantom history. Despite the success of the strip in the 1970's and 1980's, the strip suffered in the 1990's with Sy Barry retiring and Falk passing away, an

The Sunday page in newspapers today (below) is his final contribution to the strip.

    Egmont Empty Throne Storyline Getting Attention from the Swedish Media

    Chronicle Chamber has posted and discussed in the latest Podcast about the Empty Throne Saga from Egmont which is written by Claes Reimerthi and drawn by the late Paul Ryan. It features the 21st Phantom missing for over a year and features Kit and Heloise going through the procedure off becoming the 22nd Phantom. As discussed before these stories are not a 'What If' story line that does not exist in the Egmont canon. The first website the article was featured in was Aftonblad
