Review of Frew Graphic Novel "Sword of Caliph"
Frew's first ever Graphic Novel Sword of the Caliph was released at Frew's booth at Sydney Supanova 2019 and discussed on our X-Band: The Phantom Podcast #121 with a chat with Glenn Ford. Illustrated by Italy’s Giancarlo Caracuzzo and written by Gabriel Henriquez (also wrote Kid Phantom #1), it introduces us to a new villain, who acts as a major adversary for our hero. The volume is 90 pages long, full colour and slightly over sized (like the Swedish Soft Cover Album).
