It is always exciting news when new publishers publish the Phantom or the Phantom returns to a country that has not published the character for a while. Greece published a regular series in the 1970's and 50 years later, maybe we will see a new ongoing series by publisher Mikros Heros Publications.
Mikros Heros Publications in between 2018 and 2023 published the Phantom in their Blek (written Μπλεκ in Greek) magazine which included three covers featuring the Phantom and a mixture of Newspaper and Moonstone stories inside the magazine with other comic stories.
From what we understand, this will be an ongoing series and will sell for €11.00 in full colour. Good news is that unlike some other publishers website, this allows international buying.
The cover is Greek artist Giannis Rouboulias. You can follow his work at his Facebook page and or Deviant Art website.
Issue #1 will feature five Sunday newspaper stories which highlights some amazing Phantom artists we have seen in the last 20 years.
"The Time Skip" (also known as "The Forbidden Lands") by Tony DePaul and Graham Nolan
"The Ossuary" (also known as "The Lost Catacombs" or "The Gravediggers") by Tony DePaul and Paul Ryan
"Plutonium Pirates" by Tony DePaul and Paul Ryan
"The Battlements of the Nomad" by Tony DePaul and Terry Beatty
"The Spy Ship" by Tony DePaul and Jeff Weigel
Below is some samples of the interior artwork as found on the Mikros Heros Publications website.
