2 hours of goodness of Phantom talk reviewing comics & news from around the world. The perfect way to spend that evening in Bangalla.

Due out in October 2023 are the Monogram International Defenders of the Earth 2 inch 3D foam key chains. We at Chronicle Chamber were able to get some review copies before their release. The distributor Entertainment Earth has them available for pre order on their website in packs of either 6 for $34.99US ($55Au, 32Eu, 2,900INR and 375sek/nok) or a pack of 24 for $143.99US ($220Au, 132Eu, 12,000INR and 1600 sek/nok).

Has anyone noticed that the BFS & NECA 'Original Superhero' figurines have not yet made their way into many Australian shops & phans hands?

The New York Toy Fair is all online this year hence why Boss Fight Studio and now NECA are doing all their announcements in February. 2021 NECA released their first wave of the Defenders of the Earth range featuring The Phantom , Flash Gordon and Ming the Merciless which was a great success. They have now announced that Lothar , Garax & Mandrake the Magician will be joining forces in the fight of good and evil against the world. According to an interview between Joe M

unnamedThe boys Jermayn Parker, Dan Fraser and Stephen East join together to interview Jeff Parker the writer of the popular Dynamite Entertainment "Kings Watch" series. Jeff also returned to write the Flash Gordon "Kings Cross" series which ended the series of Dynamite Entertainment exploring the King Features characters they had licensed. If you enjoyed the "Kings Watch" series (or even hated what they did), this podcast is a must watch / listen. Jeff is very candid in his

Crossovers are all the rage within the comics universe with success with movies, so why not the Phantom? Stephen East, Dan Fraser and Jermayn Parker chat about The Phantom and the crossovers he has existed in and then we discuss why they are important and what we would like to see from comic publishers but also the owners King Features Syndicate. We also discuss if KFS have indeed put a ban on Frew crossovers and we raise why its important for the comic but also for the great

Nevertheless it was a boon for phans & this reveal, just a few months after Boss Fight Studios ' announcement of making The Phantom figures, felt like a bonus. Personally I was stoked with the NECA announcement as I much prefer my action figures to be in the 7 inch scale, over BFS ' 4 inch one. Plus I was excited to see these figures come t

As posted on this website many times, many Phantom phans have been waiting all their lives for a decent articulated Phantom figure. We published a detailed post about all figures available about this time last year in anticipation of the NECA Defenders of the Earth line (released in the USA February 2021), as well as the Boss Fight Studios toy due out later this year. It has taken a while but finally the NECA figure is available throughout the globe, and each member of the te

In Frew 1893, Dudley Hogarth the Frew publisher in his Message from the Publisher suggested that the short story "The Future Phantom: Forever" may be worth a podcast. We listened and here is our thoughts of the 8 page story by Andrew Constant and Massimo Gamberi. To begin with we go over every story and future Phantom which includes the 27th from the Defenders of the Earth TV Show, the 24th from the Phantom 2040 TV Show and a host of others from publishers like Fantomen and D
