Introducing Brian Babendererde - The Phantom 2040 Video Game Designer (1 of 2)
Twenty five years ago we were given a glimpse into the future. In the far-flung year of 2040, mankind has all but fulfilled its destiny of destroying our once beautiful planet. Nearly all flora and fauna has become extinct, and most of the population of Earth is destitute with only the super rich able to eke out a comfortable existence. Mega corporations prey on the poor while oiling the palms of the wealthy to get what they want. The worst of these is Maximum Inc. who desire

How on earth is it nearly the end of April?

The Phantom Accessorises
Beginning today in the newspaper Daily adventure strip we will start to see something different with the Phantom fitting himself out with emergency medical gear plus some extra .45 ACP clips of ammo for this adventure. We can only guess because of the extra care given pre-mission, we are going to experience an action-packed adventure coming up were he is expected to be needing medical attention and some extra ammunition throughout. Before some get too upset, please note this

Merry Phantoming - A Special Gift
'Twas a week before Christmas, when all through the Skull Cave; Not a character was stirring, not even Uncle Dave; The purple costume was hung by the chimney with care; In hopes the ChronicleChamber boys soon would be there; The phans were nestled all snug in their beds; While visions of Phantom gear danced in their heads... 'Tis the season to be merry, and so we come to you in the spirit of the giving! As long-time readers know, here at ChronicleChamber we are not just about

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

The TWO Lost Phantom TV Animated Series
We all know of the Defenders of the Earth and the Phantom 2040 animated television series, but did you know we almost saw not one but two other animation TV shows depicting The Phantom during the 1980's? Two different TV show animation companies, Filmation Studios and Ruby-Spears Productions, both conceived of shows but failed to get them to our screens. Apart from the odd mention in a blog from a past writer, hidden Jack Kirby artwork being found, or the odd eBay listing pop

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

Kid Phantom Short Film to Appear on Screens Soon
Not since Defenders of the Earth (1986-1987) and Phantom 2040 (1994-1996) has the Phantom been a part of an animated adventure. Now, we are less than a week away from the debut of a brand new Phantom animation, with a Kid Phantom short film about to be screened for the first time! It's been just on a month since it was revealed live at the Brisbane Oz ComicCon Kid Phantom panel (and subsequently on Episode 76 of X-Band: The Phantom Podcast) that the original creators of the c

Phantom 2040 Complete Good Ending Guide
As we (I) have mentioned many times here on ChronicleChamber, the Phantom 2040 video game is an absolute cracker on both the Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System*. And while everyone can agree on this point, the one complaint that seems to come up again and again is how hard it is to achieve the game's elusive "good" ending. Well, worry not fellow phans! We have put TeamCC's the hardest of core geek to work creating the complete guide to help

Review: The Phantom (SyFy)
I put The Phantom, the new mini-series from RHI Entertainment, set to air on SyFy in June, into the Blu Ray-player with a strange feeling of both being excited and having rather low expectations, thinking that what I was going to see would probably not be my cup of tea. I took the disc out with very, very high expectations, excited about the possibility of this turning into a regular series. I have rarely been so wrong before, because amazingly, the company that ruined Flash

Phantom For All
No matter what your interest, if you are part of a fan community something you’ll quickly discover is that all these people, united by a common love, will all have entirely different opinions on that item of interest. It is what makes we humans grand; our differences. In the world of comics different people want different things from the sequential art medium. Comic book characters, the modern day myths and legends that have inspired several generations, are, in most cases, j

The Ghost and the Machine
Does a ghost need technology? JD takes a look at technology in The Phantom’s world. The internet. Television. Digital media and penicillin. All things that, in today’s world, are taken completely for granted. It wasn’t that long ago that television was seen as evil, penicillin as a dangerous drug. Heck, in your parents (or perhaps your grandparents) day rock and roll was the music of the Devil.
As the world grows older and more sophisticated, so does its technologies. Socie
