Nordsken Culture Festival 2025

The Nordsken culture festival has been held in Skellefteå, Sweden for over 10 years. Since the start, Andreas Eriksson has been one of the co-organizers. You may have heard of him before as he is a longtime Phantom fan, and today he is also the editor of Sweden's Fantomen magazine and a Phantom script writer for Egmont, Frew and Lightning Strikes.

This year, Nordsken's theme will be super heroes, and whether you think that the Phantom is a super hero or not he will be a prominent part of the program.

The poster is drawn by new Egmont Phantom artist Kasia Nie from Poland, and shows cosplayers dressed as various heroes - including the Phantom. Kasia will also be a guest at the event. Besides the Phantom, Kasia has also done work for Marvel and other American publishers.

Henrik Jonsson will also be a guest. He has drawn several Phantom covers and poster, and a Phantom story for Egmont. He also created his own superhero The Norseman which was published as a back up in Egmont's Fantomen magazine, and Henrik is also the only Swedish artist to draw for DC Comics, where he did issues of Detective Comics and Suicide Squad.

Also announced as guest is Sylvain Runberg, who is a major scriptwriter for the French comics market. He has written one Phantom story that was recently published by Frew (Frew #1995). He is also working for DC Comics on projects with Superman and Wonder Woman.

Nordsken is held on Thursday May 29 (which is a public holiday in Sweden) and the event is FREE for all visitors. That's a lot of Phantom content for one day and a free event, and a chance to see the midnight sun is included!
