Fantomen Year Book series cancelled

Writer: Jermayn ParkerJermayn Parker

In 2002 started the Fantomen year book series titled Fantomen - Den inbundna årgången (translated to "Fantomen - Year's issues in hardcover") which collected facsimile reprints of the Fantomen comic book series from 1950.


It is very similar as the replica series released by Frew, except this series in presented in a hardcover format and includes articles about the history of the comic from that year and other important historical elements in and around Sweden.


The series has gathered the comics as originally presented from 1950 to the first half of 1973 and has produced 80+ hardcover albums in total.


In a letter to subscribers announcing the cancellation, Egmont has promised a new series that will be released towards the end of 2025 in November / December. The announcement of the series will be made likely around July / August 2025.


It is all speculative at the moment but in talking to some phans and collectors of this series, it seems the interest in hardcover collections is still high. Some ideas are artist or creator collections or even a reproduction of newspaper stories in chronological order like what Hermes Press are famous for. Time will tell, we would love to hear your ideas and suggestions.


Thanks goes to Mikael Lyck and Kristian Hellesund for the information on the cancellation of the series. When we know more, we will let everyone know.
