The Phantom #1755

I recently completed a cover for Frew Publications’ The Phantom. It should be on sale in newsagents across the country and NZ this week, I think. I know it was on sale at last weekend’s Sydney Supanova.

You can buy a signed edition from the Frew store as well. (If it isn’t there today, it will be available shortly.)

To say it was honour doesn’t seem enough. As an Australian, you grow up with The Phantom on the newsstands, in showbags and in second hand book stores. He’s everywere. Frew Publications has been pumping these babies out since 1948! And the character isn’t even Australian! But I think, after so much time, this Aussie comic book immigrant can safely be called a local hero.
