Dan Herman is the owner and publisher at Hermes Press, the world’s leading producer of The Phantom books and comic strip reprints focusing on the art and artists. We’ve been lucky enough to have a chance to chat with Dan and ask him six quick questions about the current publications that Hermes Press have available. ChronicleChamber: Thanks so much for agreeing to join us Dan - we are big fans of your work! Your Phantom books are widely recognised as setting the bar in terms

President Kennedy's Mission, the original comic book series currently being produced by Hermes Press, is being dramatically shortened. When Hermes introduced the new story in March 2017, it was announced as an "all-new Phantastic adventure [written by] veteran Phantom script writer Ron Goulart [together with] with artist Sean Joyce", and specifically, a "five book story arc". Unfortunately, these plans have changed - there will now only be three books in the story. This week,

The long awaited issue 2 of Hermes Press' second series of original Phantom stories is about to hit shelves! Sabrina Herman, Managing Editor at Hermes Press, has sent us the below cover image to share with phans, and tells us that the comic should be out in 3-4 weeks. Sean Joyce has certainly produced another vibrant and dynamic image for #2! This is an exciting development - we very much look forward to seeing how the Cold War era saga unfolds! #HermesPress #SeanJoyce

We review the Ikon Collectables competition, look at the recently released products that are likely to empty our wallets, argue about how much creators should share, and review the long-awaited Hermes Press publication President Kennedy's Mission. As always, there's a lot to talk about! Happy Phantoming! #XBand #Podc

The 20-page comic i

It's been over two months since we first reported the 30th June 2017 release date for Hermes Press' new comic book series The Phantom: President Kennedy's Mission. Unfortunately that date has come and gone with no sign of the books, so the question must be asked: where is JFK? The short answer is - it's been delayed. Why? The San Diego Comic Con (July 20-23) is to blame! For the latest update, the ChronicleChamber team has gone straight to the source, Managing Director Sabrin

Hermes Press have sent out some images of more of their upcoming releases. Hot on the heels of last week's announcement of the June 30 release date of The Phantom: President Kennedy's Mission #1, we can look ahead at the pencils and inks for the cover of issue #2. Fair to say that once again Sean Joyce is creating a stunning cover. It is an incredibly dynamic image, and should look absolutely amazing once coloured. Meanwhile, Hermes are also continuing to do what they do so w

The team at ChronicleChamber has been given an official statement and an exclusive preview of the highly anticipated next comic book series from Hermes Press, Ron Goulart's The Phantom: President Kennedy's Mission. The official word from Hermes Press about the release date is ... 30th June 2017! Not long at all.... If you have a keen eye, you would've seen this series mentioned in the Previews magazines in the last month. So if you have not already, get your order in with you

It's been a long time between drinks, but finally Hermes have released their second brand new, specially commissioned The Phantom series. Across their range of social media and communication platforms tonight, Hermes Press have directed phans to their website where their newest incarnation of our favourite purple-clad hero is available for pre-order. A fascinating plot is promised, with Hermes spruiking a 1960's era Phantom in which Kit Walker is a wartime buddy of John F. Ke

From late 2014 through to early 2016, it seemed like Phantom phans around the world were always eagerly awaiting the next installment of Hermes' Press original new Phantom story, Danger in the Forbidden City. Perhaps that's because the wait between issues became, at time, interminable. Phans were forced to wait as many as 3 to 4 months between chapters of the 6-part story, and the full impact of the story was lost for some. Thankfully then, there is the recently released Trad

Thanks to Guy Poissant who posted the rear cover of issue #6 of the first Hermes Press mini series on his Facebook page, which shows the new artist including a promo image of the Phantom standing with Diana and Devil. News of him until now has been hush hush, which lead to some rumours that a big surprise was in store with the new artist that will be doing the second Hermes mini series. However that was not the case. Not much is known about Joyce and he is a relatively unknow
