German comic publisher Comics und Mehr (translated to Comics and More) new series celebrating the Phantom's 90th anniversary and Heiner Bade is now for sale. The series will be featuring six volumes in total, all in colour. Each volume will feature two stories and will be 72 pages in total. We have received word that volume one is now shipping.
Volume one will feature "The Ghost Pirate," written by Donne Avenell, first published in 1987, and "The White Elephant," written by Claes Reimerthi, first published in 2008. Included is a beautiful editorial article by Bernd Frenz who was a friend of Heiner and collaborated on a story with this giant of the Phantom world.
From what we understand, each volume will also feature a variant hardcover edition limited to 77 copies. The first volume will feature a cover by Henrik Salhstrom which was originally used for a different story, "Broken Tusk" and was published in Fantomen 5/2024. The variant cover is a new Heiner Bade cover that was not previously published.
Thanks to publisher Michael Beck, he was able to record a flick through the two variants of volume 1.
It is a pity Heiner Bade was unable to see these beautiful books in print.
There are still copies left to purchase if you are interested. We recommend contacting them via their website. They have subscription options and they do ship outside of Germany to limited countries.
