2024 saw Mad Cave Studios start their Flash Gordon and Defenders of the Earth comic book series and on 22 November 2024, they have announced and confirmed that they will be starting a Phantom series in 2025 with a Free Comic Book Day comic.
While specific details are still to come out, this release formula is the same as what they did with their Flash Gordon series which started off with the Free Comic Day #0 issue.
We recommend you either follow our platforms and or Mad Cave Studios platforms (Instagram, Facebook and website) as more news will be out soon on the new series.
What we know is that Saturday 3 May 2025 will be Free Comic Day which is a world-wide celebration of comics and one of the 46 free comics will be a Phantom issue. For those who came in late, Hermess Press has done this before and was a success. It is a great way to get potential new readers picking up the Phantom.
Again at this stage, no details are known on this comic and the cover is not even final approved so this may change. For the record, the image we see is from the new trend guide King Features recently released.
We cannot find any details on the creative teams and if the new series will be following the current Defenders of the Earth storyline. When we know more, we will update you on the website, our monthly podcasts and our social media platforms.

Well, this is interesting. Wasn't Moonstone going to start publishing a new series? Mad Cave is American, right? Remember the absolute bun fight when Moonstone and Dynamite both thought they had the licence?
