I plan to scan and post one full issue of The Phantom each week. But, until I get that up and running, here is a sampler of phantom covers from around the world:
Netherlands
India- In case you're wondering, this is a reprint of the Gold Key Phantom "The Belt". Follow the link to Mykal Banta's Gold Key Comics blog to read the whole story.
Italy
Germany
United Kingdom
Australia
Sweden
The above images were borrowed from the Grand Comic Book Database.

Aaron: Cool post! Those covers are awesome! Overall, I think I like the cover from Australia the best. What vintage is it? Love this new blog - Keep them coming!!! -- Mykal
ReplyDeleteMykal: Thanks! The GCD doesn't really say, just that it's issue #231 of the FREW comics series, which began in September 1948. They're past their 1400th issue.
ReplyDeleteAnd, believe it or not, #1407 seems to be another reprint of "The Belt"
ReplyDeleteMykal and Aaron, that Aussie one was issued in 1963 and contains the story, "Lago the Lake God."

Walking Dad (yoy have a cool blog): Thanks! -- Mykal
ReplyDeleteDad Who Walks: Thanks for clearing that up for me. I know FREW publishes every two weeks, but I was reluctant to do the math :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great blog you've got there, I've added you to the list of Phantom Blogs. Thanks for joining the Jungle Patrol.
Best,
Aaron
