Australian comedian Sammy J toured his sell-out, 5-star award-winning show Hero Complex across the country throughout 2016/2017 and again in 2026 Hero complex (& the encore) Things Are Hotting Up! Australian comedian Sammy J toured his sell-out, 5-star award-winning show Hero Complex across the country throughout 2016/2017. The hilarious coming-of-age story is about a schoolboy and his gardener and their friendship based on a shared love of the comic book hero, The Phantom. Jam-packed with real-life photos, videos, and new songs, Sammy took his audiences on an unbelievably true journey across the last twenty years of his life to an incredible, must-be-seen-to-be-believed finale. In 1996, Sammy J borrowed some Phantom comics from his school gardener. That moment set off a chain of events that led to the birth of his daughter, saw him committing a crime in Canberra, and ended with a federal policeman searching his attic. After the success in 2016/17, Sammy J brought the show back for an encore tour around the country in 2026 to celebrate the character's 90th birthday. The encore show is very similar but with some important updates on what has happened since the original show. Click to view the photos from the 2016/17 tour Click to view the photos from the 2026 tour Hero Complex has won multiple awards across the comedy scene in Australia. While the tour has now completed, Sammy has hinted at others to come. Stay abreast by checking out Sammy's official website at Sammy-J.com . We've covered the show fairly extensively here on ChronicleChamber and even had the pleasure of Sammy as a guest multiple times on our X-Band: The Phantom Podcast . Episode #45 Episode #74 Episode #326 Now that Sammy is now a good friend of ChronicleChamber.com we thought it'd be cool to have something of a repository for all the cool stuff that has been released around the show from images to videos and more. Check it all out below! Awards Best Comedy Winner, 2016 Melbourne Fringe Best Comedy Nominee, 2017 Adelaide Fringe Best Comedy Nominee, 2017 Melbourne Comedy Festival Best Comedy Performer Nominee, 2017 Helpmann Awards Promos To help promote Hero Complex, Sammy and The Phantom teamed up to release several short sketches which Sammy then shared accross various social media platforms. You can watch them all in the playlist below. As well as creating these clips, Sammy also did his time on media street: ABC radio - The Conversation Hour 31 March 2017 Sammy J - ABC - The Conversation Hour with Jon Faine 00:00 / 00:00 MICF 2017 - Melbourne International Comedy Festival Interviews And of course, there were the Facebook Live videos!

Remember, if YOU have any pics from the Hero Complex tour, including you posing with Sammy J or anything else, please send them through to us via ChronicleChamber@gmail.com and we will add them to the Gallery!

Reviews Many publications reviewed Hero Complex as Sammy toured the show around Australia: Cross Media Sammy J has been generous enough to allow the Irish publisher Lightning Strike Comic Books to use the song he wrote for Hero Complex to put behind their re-interpretation of Ray Moore's original Origin strip. And here is Tim Wilson MP's maiden speech to the Australian parliament, with his very sneaky Phantom reference (skip to 5 min 15 seconds - this will make the most sense if you've seen Hero Complex ): And finally... Possibly the most exciting moment of the Hero Complex tour for the ChronicleChamber team, as Sammy J and Duncan visited the Skull Cave of one of our own - Jermayn Parker - in a house in suburban Perth... 2016 Photos 2026 Photos

The aim of the Phantom Preservation Project, or P3 for short, is to preserve The Phantom history. In particular, we are preserving that which can be digitised and thus easily accessed by phans. Videos, newsletters, audio, artwork, video games... anything we can! Introduction: The aim of the Phantom Preservation Project , or P3 for short, is to preserve The Phantom history. In particular, we are preserving that which can be digitised and thus easily accessed by phans. Videos, newsletters, audio, artwork, video games... anything we can! All of the content featured in P3 is out of print/production and is not accessible through any current store (not including eBay or other collectable/second hand-type stores). This includes things such as old Phantom phan club newsletters, newspaper articles, video and music that was released decades ago, and much more. There is a lot of Phantom stuff out there, so this is an ever-growing resource! You can check out everything that is currently in the P3 by clicking here to see the Index . This is a living link, constantly growing and always up-to-date. Note: This is NOT the place to find free Phantom comics, but rather items that would most likely never be reproduced but still hold a value historically for phans and the legacy of Lee Falk's hero. Patreon: In order to gain access to P3 you must be subscribed to the $5 tier on our Patreon fund . While we would of course love to offer all of this free to phans, the fact is that providing all of these files uses a considerable amount of hosting space, which of course costs money. One of the reasons we haven't been able to provide a service like P3 until recently was due to that very cost, which was prohibitive to us until our wonderful patrons began donating and allowed us the funds to make it a reality. As you can see by the various goals we have set over there, all funds gained from Patreon go straight back into the site so don't worry, we're not using it to fund our collections. Once you have joined the Patreon you will be provided with the link you need to access P3 and the various files hosted within. Thank You: We hope that P3 is of interest to all phans and visitors to the site. We are adding files every month, and over time ware building the most comprehensive archive of out-of-print Phantom media.

The 1996 Billy Zane Phantom film The Phantom is a 1996 superhero film directed by Simon Wincer. The film stars Billy Zane as a seemingly immortal crimefighter and his battle against all forms of evil. Principal photography began in October 1995 and concluded on February 13, 1996. The film was shot in California, Thailand, and Australia. The Phantom was released on June 7, 1996, and received mixed reviews from film critics. Despite financial failure in its theatrical release, the film has enjoyed success on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray and has developed a cult following. Which Phantom: Kit Walker is the 21st Phantom Release date: June 7, 1996 Running time: 100 minutes Directed by: Simon Wincer Written by: Jeffrey Boam Produced by: Alan Ladd Jr. and Robert Evans Cinematography: David Burr Edited by: O. Nicholas Brown and Bryan H. Carroll Music by: David Newman Production companies: The Ladd Company, Village Roadshow Pictures and Hearst Entertainment Distributed by : Paramount Pictures Budget: $45-50 million Box office: $23.5 million What is the story of 1996 Billy Zane Phantom film? In the early 16th century, a young boy helplessly witnesses his father killed by Kabai Sengh, the vicious pirate leader of the Sengh Brotherhood, who attacked their ship. The boy jumps overboard and is washed ashore on Bengalla, an Asian island where local tribesmen find him and take him to their village. There he is given the Skull Ring, swears to devote his life to resisting vice and enforcing virtue, and as an adult, adopts the identity of "The Phantom", a masked avenger. The role of The Phantom is passed on from father to son through 400 years, leading people to believe in a single, immortal figure. In 1938, Kit Walker, the 21st Phantom, finds Quill leading a group of grave robbers in the jungle. They are searching a burial place for one of the Skulls of Touganda, which grants its owner a tremendously destructive power. The Phantom saves the native boy they kidnapped to be their guide and captures Quill's men, leaving them for the Jungle Patrol to pick up. Revealed to be a Sengh Brotherhood member and the man who killed Kit's father - whose ghost frequently appears to give Kit advice - Quill flees with the Skull and returns to the United States. In New York City, Kit's college girlfriend, Diana Palmer, is a frequent traveler whose uncle, Dave Palmer, is the famous owner of the World Tribune newspaper. The paper has been investigating power-hungry businessman Xander Drax, a shady character with a reputation for dealing with criminals. Palmer has uncovered Drax's connection to a mysterious spider web symbol, which he traces back to the Bengalla Jungle. He sends Diana to investigate but makes the mistake of telling New York's treacherous police commissioner, who is allied with Drax, of Diana's trip. Drax's female air pirates led by femme fatale, Sala, hijack the plane; Diana is abducted and taken to their waterfront base in Bengalla. Having been informed of Diana's abduction by the Jungle Patrol's captain, Phillip Horton, the Phantom rescues her and escapes from Quill and his men to his headquarters, the Skull Cave. In New York, now dressed as his civilian self, Kit meets with David Palmer at the World Tribune and once again meets with Diana, who has mixed feelings about him since his sudden disappearance several years before. Diana's would-be suitor Jimmy Wells mentions he had seen one of the skulls in the Museum of World History, so Kit and Diana hurry there. Drax and his men capture them, steal the second Skull and unite it with the first, revealing the location of the third Skull on an uncharted island in the Andaman Sea, known as the Devil's Vortex. Kit manages to escape and, as the Phantom, evades the police outside the museum. Meanwhile, after Sala reveals that Diana is the Phantom's girlfriend, she flies Drax, Quill, and Diana to the Devil's Vortex, not knowing that the Phantom has managed to hitch a ride on one of the plane's landing pontoons. On the island, Drax meets with the pirate Kabai Sengh, direct descendant of the Brotherhood's original leader, who possesses the third Skull. Sengh warns Drax of the Fourth Skull's existence, which controls the power of the other three. The Phantom appears and battles both men, with Kabai Sengh killed by sharks, and Diana and Sala cooperate to defeat the other villains. Drax unites the three Skulls and turns their power against the Phantom; Quill is accidentally hit and disintegrated in the process. The Phantom uses the Fourth Skull – his own magic ring – to turn the Skulls' power back against them, destroying them and Drax in a powerful explosion. As the energy causes a volcanic eruption, the Phantom narrowly escapes with Diana and Sala. Returning to Bengalla, Diana reveals to the Phantom that she has figured out his secret and double identity. Kit removes his mask, telling her that he can only disclose all of his secrets to one person, the woman he intends to marry, but she leaves again for New York. Kit's father laments his son's failure to pursue Diana but states that she will return to the Phantom's jungle, and Kit, one day. Who are the cast of the 1996 Billy Zane Phantom film?

In 2008, Paramount Pictures was considering creating a sequel to The Phantom, with Zane, Swanson and Zeta-Jones returning in their roles. Instead of the sequel, a reboot of the Phantom was in the works, called The Phantom: Legacy , to be produced by Bruce Sherlock (who was also an executive producer of The Phantom) and written by Tim Boyle. Sam Worthington was rumoured to being considered for the lead role. However in an interview with Tim Boyle, he told Chronicle Chamber that he wasn't considered and instead Liam Hemsworth auditioned for the role twice. By 2014, plans for this film had fallen through as well, and producer Mark Gordon was instead attached to a Phantom reboot. We would recommend watching or listening to our X-Band: Phantom Podcast #324: The Phantom's film & TV rumours, hits & near misses . The Phantom has had some false dawns prior with new TV shows and or films ever since Tom Tyler donned the uniform in 1943. This podcast is going to be a collection of all the rumours, could-have-beens, and failed attempts in the last 70+ year period. Was the 1996 Billy Zane Phantom film based on any original stories? The film features several elements from Lee Falk's first two Phantom stories from the 1936 daily newspaper strips, "The Singh Brotherhood" and "The Sky Band". Several of the characters in the film derive from these stories: Kabai Sengh (played by Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), leader of the Sengh Brotherhood (the name of the brotherhood was changed to 'Sengh' in the film, to avoid offending people named Singh), Sala (played by Catherine Zeta-Jones), leader of the Sky Band, a group of female air pirates, and Jimmy Wells (Jon Tenney), a wealthy playboy. The other story the film references is the Lee Falk and Wilson McCoy story, which features the death of the 20th Phantom. In the original comic strip adventure, the killer was Rama Singh. In the movie the murderer is Quill (played by James Remar). The chain of patience, a popular addition to the skull throne featured in the 1953 Sunday Story "The Chain" by Lee Falk & Wilson McCoy was also shown. The supernatural "Skulls of Touganda" have never been featured in a Phantom story outside the film.

As most Phantom phans are undoubtedly aware, the summer of 2019/2020 was brutal in Australia . Media coverage of the bushfire disaster was global, and the imagery and stories that we were all exposed to were truly heart-breaking. Communities devastated, lives lost, property destroyed and animals by the millions burned to death. As we came to grips with the horror, the question we asked ourselves was the same as many people the world over: "What can we do to help?" Using this platform we're so lucky to have, Chronicle Chamber sent a call out to amazing creators from around the world, who have generously contributed to a collection of unique Phantom pin-up style images. We've assembled the wonderful submissions into a Phantom-bushfire story and had the collection professionally printed ready for sale, with all net proceeds supporting the bushfire relief appeal.
