Phantom 2040 Phantom 2040 is an animated science fiction television series loosely based on the comic strip hero The Phantom, created by Lee Falk. The central character of the series is said to be the 24th Phantom. The unusual character designs are the work of Peter Chung, creator of Æon Flux. The show debuted in 1994 to rave reviews, though it survived only 33 episodes before it was relegated to weekend repeats in 1996. Along with action sequences, stories focused on intelligent plotting and character development, winning the series praise for its subtle teaching of such values as individuality, freedom, and the volatility of humanity. It also spawned comic book tie-ins and other merchandise. Which Phantom: Kit Walker Jr. is the 24th Phantom Location : Metropia (formerly New York City); Ghost Jungle Seasons : 2 TV show years released : 1994 - 1996 Created by: David J. Corbett Designed by : Peter Chung Voice Actors: Included Scott Valentine, Margot Kidder, Ron Perlman, Jeff Bennett, Mark Hamill, Debbie Harry, Rob Paulsen, and Paul Williams Spin-off products: Marvel produced comic book tie-ins, a 2025-current web comic spin-off, and other merchandise, including toys, a board game, a video game, PVC figurines, cards, pin badges, and more. What is the story of Phantom 2040? In the year 2040, environmental disasters and the economic Resource Wars of the early 21st century have decimated the fragile ecological balance of an Earth once teeming with life. Everywhere, the privileged and wealthy continue to thrive in expensive real estate developments that tower above the suffering masses. The victims of Earth’s misfortune have been forced to subsist on scavenged refuse from the past on the mangled streets of forlorn city-states. In Metropia (once known as New York City), the largest and most powerful of the city-states, the powerful robotics manufacturing corporation Maximum Inc. has slowly shaped a cold, steely urban center, consisting of huge, residential towers intertwined with TubeTrain tunnels. Maximum's robotic "biots" (Biological Optical Transputer System) have replaced enormous amounts of human labour, and the corporation is illegally producing prohibited combat biots to form Maximum's personal underground army. Maximum has plans to construct the fortress of Cyberville, an immense survival shelter where only the wealthiest and most elite humans will retreat once Earth finally succumbs to its slowly deteriorating state and Maximum's biot armies take control of Metropia. The only hope for the survival of humanity is the Ghost Jungle — thousands of square miles of mutated vegetation that may be the planet's salvation. This secret source of life is submerged beneath Metropia where no one is aware of it, but fortunately, college student Kit Walker Jr. is chosen by fate to save the world, donning the black mask and purple suit of his people’s savior, the 24th Phantom. The role of the Phantom has been passed on from father to son since the 1500s, leading the world to believe that the Phantom is a single immortal individual. Kit, the 24th in the line, is young, unsure, and inexperienced, but he finds within him the courage and might to battle the evil that threatens to destroy the Earth.

X-Band: Phantom Podcast #343 - John Amor, "Phantom 2040: A New Shadow" artist Review: 'Phantom 2040: A New Shadow' Episode 20 'Phantom 2040: A New Shadow' season 2 announced 1 2 3 4 5 Phantom 2040: A New Shadow Reviews Phantom 2040 is popular for its high-quality, mature storytelling, striking cyberpunk visual style designed by Peter Chung, and nuanced environmental themes. It stood out in the 1990s for its serialized narratives, character-driven drama, and complex moral questions about technology and humanity, often exceeding the standards of typical 90s action cartoons. All these elements that make the show popular are ingrained into the character ethos of what makes the Phantom special. The main characters of Phantom 2040 & their voice actors The Phantom/ Kit Walker (Voiced by Scott Valentine) Rebecca Madison (Voiced by Margrot Kidder) Guran (Voiced by J. D. Hall) Jack Archer (Voiced by Alan Oppenheimer) Sagan Cruz (Voiced by Leah Remini) Aunt Heloise (Voiced by Carrie Snodgress) Maxwell Madison Jr (Voiced by Jeff Bennett) Graft (Voiced by Ron Perlman (season one) & Richard Lynch (rest of series)) Doctor Jack (Voiced by Mark Hamill) Sean One/ Heisenberg (Voiced by Rob Paulsen) Is Phantom 2040 cyberpunk? Based purely on the definition of cyberpunk, yes, Phantom 2040 is cyberpunk. The definition of cyberpunk is a subgenre of science fiction set in dystopian, high-tech future societies, often summarized as "high tech, low life". It focuses on the juxtaposition of advanced technology—such as artificial intelligence and cybernetics—with societal collapse, rampant urban decay, and corruption by powerful megacorporations. With beautiful painted cell backgrounds and edgy animation, the show features classic dystopian tropes, including a world run by menacing corporations (Maximum Inc.), extreme social inequality, advanced biot armies, and ecological collapse. The series centers on a gritty future where a new Phantom battles to save the world.

It is the sound the Guide makes before responding to a question. The Phantom's multi-purpose vehicle was named H.E.R.O. after the comic strip 21st Phantom's horse, Hero. Sagan Cruz, the 24th Phantom's love interest and future police officer, works with a cyborg police dog named D.V.L, a reference to the 21st Phantom's wolf, Devil. In the Phantom 2040 video game, the initials J.P can be found spray-painted on the walls of the subway, which contains the Ghost Jungle, a reference to the Jungle Patrol from the comic strip. For some unknown reason, the Phantom legacy is said to have started in 1566 instead of 1536 as in the comics.

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 best starting point is to catalogue and photograph every item from your collection. If you ever have to make a claim you can then provide evidence you have it in your collection. This could be a daunting task but the more data you provide, the better service you will get. Once you have catalogued and photographed your collection you can then start looking for an insurer to cover you. Most 'collections' are covered in the Home policy section but not always - do not assume a collection is automatically included in a home insurance policy. Always do your research and do not be afraid of calling the insurance company and talking it through with a human being. Please note, we do not work for an insurers. We have had conversations with insurers for this section and they all suggest the following: Catalogue Read the fine print - do not assume a collection is automatically included in a home insurance policy Talk to someone You can always find advice from well intended phans and they may suggest two options which we do not agree with. They are: Some suggest entering the price you paid for the item in the collection catalogue. Personally we think it is not needed by the insurers and do you and your family really want to know how much money you have spent? Another option some suggest is to get a valuation of your collection but before COVID-19 each valuation was valid for three months. Since COVID-19, most valuations have a shelf life of one month and all the valuation does is show you owned that item at that time. There is no proof you still have it in your collection since the valuation date. You could have traded, sold it or even lost it.

If your googling what is my collection worth? Where can I read stories online? What is official Phantom lore plus many other questions? We have answered them here. Frequently Asked Phantom Questions Recent Phantom Happenings This is the place where we answer some of the common Phantom related questions we get asked all the time. If you have any questions, we have not answered yet, please contact us at chroniclechamber@gmail.com . How much is my (or my relatives) collection worth? Looking to sell my collection An item is only worth as much as what someone is willing to pay for it. The best place to sell your collection, or your relatives you have been left with is on the Trader Joes Facebook page. Post photos of the item with a description and ideally with a price your looking for. Be weary that once you post on the Facebook page, the seagulls will be ready to swoop. The other option is if you want an impartial valuation, please email us. We can help give you an idea on prices. How Much are Australian Frew Comics Worth? It all depends on condition. A good website to give you an idea on what your Frews are worth is ComicsPriceGuide.com (Frew list here). If you have any Frew comics under #50 or #100 we would suggest an independant value on them. A mint Frew can easily top $30,000 but a replica issue will only reach $50 tops. If you would like to contact us about getting a value or finding an independant value on them, please email us. I live in the USA, How can I Get Frew Comics?" You can buy direct from Frew Publications via their website here or you can buy via Harley Slavik which is a comic book distribution company based in the USA. You can order and visit their website or their Facebook account. I live in India, How can I Get Frew Comics?" You can buy Frew comics through Rregal Publishers which is an Indian publisher publishing their own comics. Go to their website to buy them in Indian Rupees. How can I get Fantomen Comics Locally and Internationally? If you live in Sweden you can get these comics in most shops were magazines are sold. If you live outside Sweden, you can get an international subscription service which includes postal service to Australia, USA and India. Click here to go to the Dintidning website and you subscribe to either 6 issues or 13 and 26. They produce 26 issues a year. I am a new Phantom phan, what stories should I read?" With Fantomen and Frew producing over 4,000 comics together and with close to 2,000 different stories published it can be a daunting task. Over on this page, the team of Chronicle Chamber (Jermayn Parker, Mikael Lyck, Dan Fraser & Stephen East) have collected a strong 100+ stories which we believe are a must read. Go visit here for the full list and what comics they have been published in. If you think we are missing any stories, let us know - this list aim is to be updated regularly. We also recommend the Phantomwiki as they have short summeries on majority of the stories. What is the official cannon? There is no "official lore" by King Features and or Hearst the managing companies that own the rights to the Phantom. However, majority of Phans have an unofficial cannon which is the stories created by co-creator Lee Falk between 1936 and his death in 1999. The other stories created by Team Fantomen, Frew, RGE, Moonstone and the newspaper stories created post Lee Falk's generally do not contradict the unofficial cannon too much. The debate sits were phans see these collection of stories and whether they sit within or alongside the lore. Why is the phantom different colors? The Phantom's official costume is a purple body suit, cowl; blue trunks with diagonal stripes, a black leather gun belt with a death's head skull on front, black domino mark and riding boots. Throughout the publishing history of the Phantom, various comic book publishers have changed the colour of his uniform. For example, the colour is red in France, Italy, Spain and Brazil, almost a bluish-silver during the early years in Scandinavia before blue with yellow striped trucks and a yellowish-brown in New Zealand. The Phantom began life in a black and white daily newspaper strip on 17 February 1936. Various panels had the word grey desribing the Phantoms colour. Which artists accept commissions and sell original Phantom artwork? Most current Phantom creators sell their original artwork and are open for commissions. Your best bet is to contact them via their social media accounts or websites. Here is a list of creators: Sy Barry Jeff Weigel Mike Manley Jason Paulos Paul Mason Jamie Johnson Shane Foley Alex Saviuk Wendell Cavalcanti Joan Boix Rafael Dantas Luke McDonnell Lou Manna Massimo Gamberi Luca Erbetta Sal Velluto If you know of any other Phantom artists who are available for commissions, please let us know. How old is the current phantom? Comic years are different than real life years. The Phantom was in his early 20's in 1936 which would make him around 110 today if based on real life years. In comic years, The Phantom would be around 43 to 45. We would assume The Phantom married at 25-ish to Diana Palmer his childhood sweetheart and they had twins Kit and Heloise a year later. The twins are now around 17-18 in todays stories. Of course, in the comics world, there are always going to be wrinkles for any timeline you set. For example Rex who was found by the 21st Phantom, yet was at least 8 years old when he married to Diana. The debate will continue. Where can i get the latest news about the Phantom? Chronicle Chamber is the best source as we cover Phantom news from all around the world. You can either get the latest news from our website or via our social media platforms for the latest news, interviews with creators, podcasts and much more. Twitter Facebook Instagram YouTube Podcast Is there a new movie or TV Show in the works? At this stage officially, no! However who knows what is bubblinb in the background. There was two sequels destined after the 1996 Billy Zane movie which never happened. In 2008 writer and director Tim Boyle wrote a two part Phantom movie script featuring the 22nd Phantom in Kit and Heloise. This movie was very close to being created. We recommend watching/listening to two podcasts that touch upon these movies. Podcast #133: Billy Zane Podcast #176: Tim Boyle Where can I read The Phantom dailies and Sundays on-line? Comics Kingdom is the King Features Syndicate website which shows the daily and or Sunday newspaper strip for that day. The Phantom Trial is a phan created website which shows a month of Sunday strips or a week of daily strips at a time which can be handy to read. A third option is the digital newspaper Seattle PI (Post Intelligencer) which has a larger free archive unlike other sources. What newspapers / comic book are currently running the Phantom? The main comic publishers of the Phantom which are Frew Publications from Australia publishing from 1948 to current with over 1800 issues Fantomen from Egmont publishing from 1950 to current with over 1700 issues. Hermes Press currently publish reprint stories in hardcover format with the Sunday and Daily newspaper stories from 1936 to present. Regal Publishers from India are publishing in colour and in english. Kockás from Hungary. Comics Revue from USA. Many newspapers still publish the Phantom. This may not be a complete list, so if you know of any others, please let us know.

Frew replica issue one and two are the hardest to identify. Replica issue three has a small R in the cufflink of Mister Hog. From replica issue four onwards the words "Replica Issue" generally next to the M on the Phantom title logo. The following has been sourced from Deepwoods.org. If you want more information, we recommend looking there. Replica Issue One The most obvious difference between the original and replica is the colour of the Phantom's costume; it is very light purple in the original and a dark purple in the replica. The most reliable method is to turn the front cover and look at the inside title page. The original had a line of text at the bottom of the page which says "Printed by ROTARY COLORPRINT CO. PTY. LTD., 15 Hamilton St., Sydney, for the publishers, FREW PUBLICATIONS, 39 Martin Place, Sydney". This line is not present on the replica edition. Replica Issue Two The most immediately obvious difference between the original and replica is the colour of the Phantom's costume; it is very light purple in the original and a dark purple in the replica. The most certain method of identification owes to the fact that the cover image for the replica was enlarged by 3.8%. Therefore, a careful measurement of the height of the red region on the letter "P" of the title "Phantom" from the lowest point to the top (parallel to the spine) should give 116mm for the replica compared with 112mm for the original.
