His name is Shane Foley and the team at Chronicle Chamber interviewed him to find out about him and his long journey to become a Frew Phantom cover artist. Chronicle Chamber: Were you a Phantom phan growing up or now? Shane Foley: If a ‘phan’ is the Bandar version of a Marvel Zombie, then no.

The latest Frew we saw Shane Foley debut as a Frew cover artist, over the weekend Gary Chaloner posted his new Frew cover on Facebook and a few weeks ago it was announced that Angelo Todaro is also set to produce a cover. It is great to see more artists getting the opportunity to create Frew Covers. It also makes Frew's Signature Series more of a series worth getting with different artists signatures.

When Glenn Ford and Rene White , collectively known as The Frew Crew along with Dudley Hogarth , took over Frew they said they had some big ideas for The Phantom . Well, we’re starting to see the first of these with the announcement of two variants of Frew ’s comic. To be fair, “variant” in the usual sense of the word in relation to comics – that of the exact same issue with only a different cover created simply for collecting purposes – isn’t exactly correct here. Rather,

The celebration of the Phantom’s 80th continues to be celebrated throughout the comics community with two new articles appearing from Comics Alliance and Precinct 1313 .

For those of you who did listen to episode #34 of X-Band (and if you haven’t, why not? It’s great!) there isn’t any new info here (sorry). We’re simply re-stating

In turn, Steven too left the position with Dudley Hogarth stepping in. Now, another era comes to a close with Judith Shepherd moving on from the company after 28 years.

Of course we discussed what this would mean for Frew . Well, the answer is here… Thanks to Jermayn and his Frew subscription we get an early glimpse of what Frew are doing to get around the issue.
