Mint condition. The Childhood of the Phantom - by Lee Falk and Wilson McCoy The Phantom's Boyhood, Part 2 - by Bill Harris and Bill Ligante The Phantom's Engagement - by Lee Falk and Wilson McCoy Yes - by Lee Falk and Sy Barry The Proposal - by Lee Falk and Sy Barry The Wedding of the Phantom - by Lee Falk and Sy Barry The Heirs - by Lee Falk and Sy Barry The Tree House - by Lee Falk and Sy Barry The Romancing of Diana Palmer - By Barry Stubbersfield Cover art by Romano Felmang The Wedding Special, has been compiled by us to celebrate The Phantom and Diana’s 40 years of nuptial bliss. It was a long journey in the making but The Phantom eventually married his childhood friend and teenage sweetheart Diana Palmer on 24th November, 1977. Lily Palmer, Diana’s mother was never totally comfortable with her daughters choice of a man who lived his life in a distant jungle. The notion of a him as a suitable candidate for Diana was a cause for great motherly concern. Living with a purple clad hero in a jungle Skull Cave wasn’t really what Lily had hoped for her daughter’s future. Nonetheless, when pressed by the Phantom for her permission to marry Diana, she acquiesced through a veil of tears. She is clearly impressed by the cavalcade of prominent guests that attend the wedding ceremony and softens her position over time. I am quietly confident that for those of you whom we lovingly refer to as Falkists, there will be little to disappoint in this Ruby Anniversary celebration! You know who you are! It is our intention to choose stories that document the significant milestones in the lengthy history of friendship and courtship between the dynamic couple. Where better to start than at their first meeting? This story is not in published sequence having been created by Lee Falk in 1959 and I must point out that there is another version of the same story with a different ending published as early as 1944. This story gets pride of place as our opener since it depicts The Phantom as a boy meeting Diana in childhood and it traverses their friendship into adolescence. Diana’s marriage has been on the agenda for a considerable period of time since 1943 when Lee Falk and Wilson McCoy created The Phantom’s Engagement. No fewer than 16 other men were eager to marry Diana over the course of the Phantom’s premarital history. Some of them perfectly eligible and others were simply rogues with bad intentions. Our historian Barry Stubberfield has been burning the midnight oil preparing a very thorough essay documenting the romancing of Diana which I have included as a little something extra for those that are fascinated by the detail. This is a celebration of creation comic, with stories that you would expect to find in a Wedding Anniversary issue. I have stayed away from the other suitor’s stories in preference for pivotal Diana and The Phantom relationship moments. We’ll reminisce the meeting, various proposals, engagement, the wedding and honeymoon, childbirth and the building of an unconventional family home! Find a comfortablespot to put your feet up and enjoy this very special relationship.

The Dead River

2017

The Dark River: Story by Magnus Knutson and art by Jaime Vallvé. Phantom by Gaslight Ep 4 - Weathering Hate: Story by Christopher Sequeira and art by Jason Paulos. Cover art by Antonio Lemos. This Phantom story comes to us from Team Fantomen and was first published by them in Fantomen 1/1972. Written by Magnus Knutsson it is of particular significance since it represents the very first Phantom story to have been drawn by artist Jaime Vallvé. Jaime Vallvé’s style became very popular in the 70’s and 80’s. His particular attention to detail in historical context set him apart from many of his contemporaries. He went on to draw some 116 Phantom stories throughout his career. His full name was Santiago Jaime Vallvé Peralta. He was a Spanish born artist living in Denmark. Magnus Knutsson who wrote the story had previously edited the Italian Phantom stories produced by Fratelli Spada that were being published in Fantomen. Eventually, he was offered the opportunity to write completely new scripts which were along more modern themes. Hence, The Dead River is the first to show Bengali’s neighbour Rhodia and there abhorent and systematic racial segregation policy known as apartheid. It is interesting to note in this story both Colonel Weeks and his successor Colonel Worubu appear, but by this stage Colonel Weeks had been appointed to General Staff allowing Worubu to be the man in charge of the Jungle Patrol. I’m glad we got that cleared up!

2017 Christmas Special

2017

Trouble in the Twelve Nations: Story by Tony DePaul and art by Terry Beatty. The Wiseguy: Story by Tony DePaul and art by Terry Beatty. The Stamp: Story by Tony DePaul and art by Mike Manley. Cover art by Massimo Gamberi. I always enjoy putting these Sundays and Dailies together. I find it a much more satisfying way to read the Phantom once the story is finished and presented in its totality. This is a sentiment that I know many of you share! Contained within this festive issue are 3 stories that have graced the pages of newspapers in the US and across the globe. The first of them being, Trouble in the Twelve Nations which was the 183rd Sunday story written by Tony DePaul with art by Terry Beatty. There is a small crossover and a cameo appearance made by Mandrake the Magician in this story which also features Lothar, his cousin Monar and the menacing presence of Otanko in a plot full of political intruque with a twist in the tale! The second story in this publication is The Wiseguy, also by Tony DePaul and Terry Beatty. It is the 184th Sunday story which is centred around a classic Mafioso style gang, the D’Moda crime family. Our final story is The Phantom Stamp, this is a daily strip written by Tony DePaul but with art by Mike Manley, who was brought in to fill the void after the untimely passing of Paul Ryan. This is the 246th Phantom daily story but it is Mike Manley’s third and he would appear to be very capable and comfortable in the job. I was particularly delighted to see the elegant gentleman resplendantly attired in bowler hat with walking cane functioning as a narrator in the early stages of the story. It is a great idea to have Lee Falk enter as a character and lay out the landscape of the story. It brings a sense of history and acknowledgment to the origin of the Phantom.

The Emperor's Treasure

2018

The Emperor's Treasure: Story by Ulf Granberg and art by Jaime Vallvé. Cover art by Glenn Ford This Phantom story, The Emperor’s Treasure was first published by Semic Press in Fantomen 12/1981. Written by Ulf Granberg with artwork by Jaime Vallvé. This story has never been published previously by Frew. The Phantom finds himself on a treasure hunt in Corsica as a result of a social call he makes on an old college professor! This is no ordinary treasure and of course others are also in search of these priceless ancient artifacts. Enter bad girl, Madame Sauvage and her merry band of marauding henchmen. The Phantom finds himself out of his depth in this story!

Guran's Secret

2018

This story, Guran’s Secret which is what we have chosen to title it, could alternatively have been titled Yohimba’s Gift or Guran’s Secret. This is a 1985 Fantomen story written by Idi Kharelli with art by Özcan Eralp. Idi Kharelli is an anagram used by Eirik lldahl as a pen name during his time writing for Fantomen between 1981 and 1986.

Black Dagger, Part 1

2018

Black Dagger pt 1 - Rag Doll: Story by Claes Reimerthi and art by Kari Leppänen. Phantom by Gaslight Ep 5 - A Tale of Three Continents: Story by Christopher Sequeira and art by Jason Paulos Cover art by Jamie Johnson. If you get Kari Leppänen and Claes Reimerthi working together on a story, then the result is almost inevitably going to be a gritty, dark tale, presented with enormous care and devotion to detail, particularly when set in another place and time. Such is the case with this first episode of a two part story The Black Dagger. Dovetailing snuggly in with the period we have also found the space to bring you Episode 5 of our Phantom by Gaslight Series in which writer Christopher Sequeira and artist Jason Paulos introduce us to a literary, triumvirate of villainy whose dastardly activities will not only be most delightfully entertaining but will require some teamwork for the Phantom to combat.

Lee Falk, born Leon Harrison Gross (April 28, 1911 - March 13, 1999), was an American writer, theater director and producer, best known as the creator of the popular comic strips The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician. At the height of their popularity, these strips attracted over 100 million readers every day. Falk also wrote short stories, and he contributed to a series of pulp novels about The Phantom

Raymond S. Moore was the co-creator, together with Lee Falk, and first artist on what would grow to become the world's most popular adventure comic strip, The Phantom. Moore had previously worked as Phil Davis' assistant on the Lee Falk-created Mandrake the Magician comic strip, which was why he was thought to be a suitable choice to draw Falk's new creation.

Joseph P. Gill was an American magazine writer and highly prolific comic book scripter. Most of his work was for Charlton Comics, where he co-created the superheroes Captain Atom, Peacemaker, and Judomaster, among others. Comics historians consider Gill a top contender as the comic-book field's most prolific writer. Per historian and columnist Mark Evanier, Gill "wrote a staggering number of comics. There are a half-dozen guys in his category. If someone came back and said he was the most prolific ever, no one would be surprised."

Angelo Todaro, also known under the pen names Paul Bennett and Al Todd, was an Italian comic artist, comic writer and essayist whose career spanned over 50 years.

Scottish comics artist.

Seymour "Sy" Barry (born March 12, 1928), is an American comic strip artist, best known for his work on "The Phantom" comic strip, which he drew for over 30 years. Having worked on both "Tarzan" and "Flash Gordon", he went on to draw the world's most successful adventure comic strip, "The Phantom" for 33 years from 1962 to 1994, succeeding Ray Moore and Wilson McCoy. Sy is credited for giving the Phantom his modern look, which has not changed since he took over the strip. Creator Lee Falk liked his drawing style so much that he quickly decided to modernize the entire comic strip, giving Bangalla a black President (Lamanda Luaga) and the Jungle Patrol a black colonel (Worubu).
