Back in November 2024, Mad Cave Studios announced their plans for Free Comic Book Day 2025 with a Phantom Comic. To coincide with the Free Comic Day announcement, they said it could potentially kick off a new standalone series for the character.
Now we can inform you of some new details that have emerged regarding the Free Comic Book Day issue.
On Mad Cave Studio's website, it details one of the creative team involved as well as a synopsis that have been released.
Mad Cave Studio lists Ray Fawkes, who has been assigned the writing duties. No artist has been credited as of yet with the website only mentioning 'various', which may hint that there will be multiple artists involved either in the series or this issue.
Ray Fawkes is a Canadian comic writer and artist who has had done several critically acclaimed works both independently as well as for major companies like DC, Marvel and Dark Horse.
He has also worked on the Mad Cave Studio series 'Sanction'. Have any of our readers read this or his other series?
Mad Cave Studio's also provided a synopsis, hinting at what to expect from the FCBD issue and the series.
"The Phantom, Lee Falk’s highly influential superhero, is back in an all-new adventure series! The first story in an exciting publishing plan that is sure to satisfy both new and returning “Phans” of comics’ beloved Ghost Who Walks. In true Phantom fashion, look forward to pulpy storytelling focused on justice, honor, mystery, and mythology—all told with heaps of action!"
After their ongoing 'Defenders of the Earth' miniseries, this will be an interesting issue to look forward to. The comic is slated to come out on May 3rd, 2025.
We will be providing further updates on the comic and the series as soon as we get more information. Keep an eye out on our website, social media and or monthly podcasts.
