It is not every month we see a new country publishes the Phantom for the first time so that makes October a busy but important month in the world of the Phantom.. We review comics from Australia; catch up on the newspaper adventures printed on Comics Kingdom; and discuss every bit of Phantom-related news from around the world, including comic conventions, passings of giants, the latest comics soon to be released in USA, and the potential of a new Phantom TV show.
If we do not discuss the Phantom comics from your country, that is because we are still looking for someone to review them for us. Please get in touch with us if that interests you. Otherwise, we love comments and feedback from the Phantom phans from around the world. You can either email us, leave your comments at our YouTube channel, and/or leave them at our social media platforms on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram.
If you're one of the phans who can only listen to some parts of the podcast, below is a timeline of what we discussed.

We can only report and discuss what we have seen or been told by the phans. We may miss something, especially conventions in your corner of the world with Phantom-related guests, so please let us know of them so we can promote them on our website, socials, and podcasts. We are also looking for reviewers who can review comics from India, Sweden, Finland, France, Italy, and some other locations that publish the Phantom.
