    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

    The eagerly anticipated three part The 22nd Phantom: Empty Throne saga has just been published by Frew and the phellas are ready to go hammer and tongs into a review.

    Return of the Marshall Sisters & The Phantom is Back Down Under... well, to New Zealand

    I guess for some, its the same as Australia but let us leave that to another discussion. The Phantom has not made many visits to the Oceania region and let us be honest - He Should Be! In podcasts in the past I have made claims that one of the reasons why Australian Phans tend not to like to the Egmont stories is because they are jealous the Phantom visiting Europe and the like. Well I reckon this may change with the Phantom visiting New Zealand in an upcoming story which was
