Frew releases new Legacy Series volume 1 and 2

Between 1950 and 1952 Frew released a collected works of several titles in a monthly magazine called Super Yank Comics that featured Catman and The Phantom. These magazines are now highly sort after by Australian comic collectors with many selling for $200+ in the market today.

For those who cannot afford these comics, Frew is releasing a new Legacy Series reprinting these old comics.

Each comic was originally 24 pages with roughly 7-13 pages containing Phantom stories. It is worth noting that the Phantom is not the main character in this series but did appear in all issues except 1 and 6. Issue 7 was not printed - very much like the issue 330 in the regular Frew Phantom series.

The stories included in the stories are:

• Sunday 17: "The 12 Tasks". Printed in issues 2-5

• Daily 23: "The Blue Gang". Printed in issues 8-10

• Daily 38: "The Movie Stars". Printed in issues 11-14

• Sunday 26: "The Mysterious Passenger". Printed in issue 15

• Sunday 5: "The Saboteurs". Printed in issue 16

• Sunday 19: "The Marshall Sisters". Printed in issue 17

• Sunday 20: "The Phantom Trophy". Printed in issues 18-19

Each volume will hold 9x comics each with beautiful covers by Chris Wahl and Glenn Lumsden. These will be available for purchase at Frew's Supanova booth in Sydney on 21-22 June 2025 and or their website (link to come soon). The prices are $55AU each +postage.

For many common Australian fans, they will never add these comics to their collection and these collected works are a great way for us to get a feeling of the 1950 comics. Back in 2019, Frew released a similar series for their 1955 Phantom Adventures prose books which can still be purchased from their website ($33AU inc postage to Australia & $20AU +postage for outside of Australia orders.
