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

    Mykal: 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.

    And, believe it or not, #1407 seems to be another reprint of "The Belt"

    Mykal and Aaron, that Aussie one was issued in 1963 and contains the story, "Lago the Lake God."

    Kind regards,
    Anthony

    Dad Who Walks: Thanks for clearing that up for me. I know FREW publishes every two weeks, but I was reluctant to do the math :)

    That 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
