New Fantomen hardcover series: "The Historical Stories of The Phantom"

The Swedish publisher Egmont has released a new hardcover collection of Phantom stories.

This series will be released every quarter and will replace the old Fantomen - Den inbundna årgången (Fantomen - Year's issues in Hardcover) series that ended in December 2024.

This new series will be a similar concept to the popular 100-issue 1990 series collecting all the past Phantom stories. That series was called "Fantomen Krönika" and ended in 2010.

However, this new series will be slightly different and will be a great companion piece to the original series.

This series will be one book per Phantom, collecting selected stories about that generational Phantom. This "The Historical Stories of The Phantom" series will be in hardcover format at 349 kr plus postage, and each book will be approximately 160 pages and in black and white. The first book has a special price of 199 kr plus postage.

The first issue will cost approximately $45AUD, $30USD, €25 and 2,400INR.

The other issues will cost approximately $70AUD, $45USD, €40 and 3,800INR.

At this stage there is no word on exactly how many editions this series will be. Will it just do the past Phantoms and stop at 20? Will it collect the stories for future generations of Phantoms'? It will take the editorial team at Fantomen until the end of 2030 for them to get to the 20th Phantom—time will tell.

The cover of issue one is by Hans Lindahl and was used as the cover on the original 1993 Fantomen Kronika 1 and is an obvious choice to be used again.
