Review of ECR Phantom #80 and #81

Christian Moller reviews magazines #81 and #82. For those who may be confused, the numbering refers not to the issue number but to the Daily story number. These were released in August 2025.

The stories we review in this video are:

• "Der eiserne Drache" ("The Iron Dragon") by Lee Falk and Wilson McCoy

• "Der Werwolf" ("The Werewolf") by Lee Falk and Wilson McCoy

You can order your copy of this and other comics from ECR via their email address - ecr-vlg@gmx.net.

It is worth noting that these stories have never been published in Germany (including West Germany) by anyone, including Bastei comics back in the 1970s. These magazines are printed in good quality in original black and white on very thick paper stock. You can hear the thickness and quality of the paper as I turn the pages.

The covers are again designed by Andy. There has been some discussion online about if they are AI-generated art or not. We will leave that discussion and opinion for the readers to decide on.

All ECR and other German comic reviews will be included in our monthly X-Band: The Phantom Podcasts. You can find out more at our website and or subscribe to our YouTube channel for more videos.
