Brazilian fans celebrate the 90th birthday

Brazilian fans are some of the most enthusiastic fans out there, and several are teaming up to celebrate our hero's birthday.

The Brazilian Phantom publisher Mythos will hold an event on the 7th of February 2026 at their store headquarters. Present at the event will be Dedy Edson, a Brazilian Phantom collector who met Lee Falk before he passed in 1999. Others who will be attending are Franco de Rosa, who edited the Phantom for Opera Graphica; Gonçalo Junior, author of Lee Falk's biography book, which was released in 2025 and Glaucio Cardoso from the Fantasma YouTube Channel.

The event will be live-streamed, and those who attend will have access to an exclusive bookplate, shirt, and mug, with other items given away throughout the event. The Mythos team will also be present with discounts to buy Mythos products and announcements of future products from Mythos.

On top of this event, the website Coletive Arts (website) will be showcasing art to celebrate the birthday on the Coletive Arts website.

Coletive Arts is inviting artists from the most varied styles to participate in a virtual exhibition dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the comic book character Phantom. Any artist can participate with your drawings of our hero that will stay online on the website forever in the virtual exhibition on the Coletive Arts website.

Artwork can be submitted by 2nd February 2026 by email to coletivearts@gmail.com, and please include your name, city, and country.

On top of this art exhibition, the Coletive Arts website has recently also interviewed Glaucio Cardoso (link to interview) and Frew artist Fábio Alves (link to interview). We believe there will be other interviews to come with creators who have worked on the Phantom over the past 90 years.

Glaucio Cardoso from the Fantasma YouTube Channel will also be hosting a special live show from 7pm local Brazilian time. Details on how to join will be given out soon.

If you see any other celebrations, Phan gatherings, etc., celebrating our hero, please let us know. We would love to help promote the event(s).
