Some of the subjects we touch upon in this podcast are the following: His overall thoughts on the comic including some small problems with the way the comic was printed. The cover by Marcelo Baez. Why did Matt Kyme want to create a prequel for the "Singh Brotehrhood".

Background information on the real life Sunda Trench. The juxtapositioning of the Phantom's pose on page 10 and 11. The references to past classic stories of "The Childhood of the Phantom" and "The Belt". The process and timeline of creating this story. Creating the story to interwind with the "Singh Brotherhood" story and what to include and what not too include. Jermayn Parker's two biggest bones of contention with the story. The accent of the Phantom and how Uncle Dave figured out who the Phantom is. Matt's appeal to the early Lee Falk stories. Questions and comments from phans including Adam Williams, Callum Markin, Daniel Brogna, Gary Gazza, Jenni Mooney, Rosco, Sean Bassett, and Tyron Barker. What comic events Matt Kyme will be attending in 2024 including what he may be selling. You can follow Matt Kyme on Instagram and Marcelo Baez also on Instagram.

- X-Band: Phantom Podcast #291 - Janusz Ordon Fantomen artist
Dan Fraser, and Jermayn Parker join Janusz Ordon who is a Polish comics creator who has created Phantom stories since 2018. In short 6 years he has drawn 20 full length stories for Fantomen but also Frew. He has also drawn 6x Fantomen covers at the time of recording. We start at the beginning which includes how Janusz Ordon first came to know about the Phantom from the Fantom (TM-Semic) series published from 1992 to 1993 in his home country. Other areas we touch upon and discuss are: His prior relationship with Philip Madden a Fantomen writer. The art scene in Poland including Fantomen artist Kasia Nie who drew her first Fantomen cover and story in 2024. Janusz Ordon describes his style for the Phantom. How do you see his work? His style that works as well in black and white (Frew comic) and in colour (Fantomen comic). Do you have a preference? Talks about his process and how that can change depending on the style of the script and how inspired he is by it. What he gets from different writers and editors in terms of the scripts and references. How he deals with different scripts and references from the dozen Phantom writers & editors he has worked with. Challenges working on scripts. Playing with the panels to use splash pages when working on Claes Reimerthi scripts. His process of using digital and traditional mediums for sequential (roughs / layouts and final art) and the cover art. Why Janusz Ordon traditionally paints his Fantomen covers and will traditionally pencil and ink his next Fantomen story. His process of creating a cover for stories he did not draw. [Editors note: this will surprise you] Would you like to see a process of Janusz Ordon painting some Phantom illustrations? We ask Janusz Ordon if he is drawing the next parts of the 22nd Phantom saga? He gives us some feedback on our own comments from past podcasts about his work. Dan Fraser even apologies.

- X-Band: Phantom Podcast #293 - Fantomen 2025 & their 75th Anniversary
Jermayn Parker is joined by Team Fantomen editors Jacob Habinc and Andreas Eriksson as he asks them all the questions about what they are planning for 2025 which so happens to be their 75th anniversary birthday! We first start off asking about the celebrations of 2025 and what they have planned. They tell us as much as they can and yet still hold back a few surprises which will be dropped as time goes by. If you want some hints, this is the podcast to listen to. Some of the secrets they tell us is that the celebrational issue will be in October 2025 and will feature as a double extended issue. Some of the reprint stories through out the year will be key classic stories that hold a special place in the history of the comic. On top of the birthday celebrations, we also learn the following: Some of the writers writing stories for 2025 will be Andreas Eriksson, Pidde Andersson, David Bishop and John Rassy who is back after a 7 year hiatus. Some of these creators will be writing two part stories. Some of the artists who will be drawing stories for 2025 are phan phav Janusz Ordon, Kasia Nie for her second story and Percy Ochoa who will be drawing his first Team Fantomen story who has previously drawn several Frew stories. The Phantom will be visiting Sweden and Australia. The theme for the hardcover collection will be stories from the 1970's. Can you guess the theme? 2025 will see other covers tailored for events like conventions like they did for Uppsala comic convention in 2024. In addition to answering questions about 2025, we took the time to ask other generic editorial questions. For example: What does Jacob Habinc look for in reprinting Frew and or Bastei stories? What are their views on AI and comics Different art styles including Rafael Ruiz' new style. Would they prefer a Phantom movie and or a TV show? How closely do they follow the latest developments from the newspaper stories with Kit in the Himalayas, the updated office in the Commanders office and if past Phantoms need to follow the costume design designed by Jeff Weigel. If they could change one thing about the Phantom or their job with money not being a hinderance, what would it be? We would love your opinions on what we discuss in this podcast.
