Fantomen 25&26/2024 was originally published 27 November 2024, this is the last issue for 2024. This issue features three Phantom stories in this comic plus a story loosely based on the Phantom. The stories are:
"Resan hem" ("The Journey Home") by Tony DePaul, Mike Manley, Bret Blevins, and Jeff Weigel
"Tågligan" ("The Train Gang") by Donne Avenell and César Spadari
"Mörkrets väktare" ("Guardian of the Eastern Dark") by Lee Falk and Sy Barry
"Skatten" ("The Treasure") by Michael Thoor
The cover is by Henry Johannes Matilainen with his third cover. I like the cover with the classic strong pose of the Phantom.
"Resan hem" ("The Journey Home") by Tony DePaul, Mike Manley, Bret Blevins, and Jeff Weigel is the last part of the Himalaya storyline. It also features multiple artists who filled in for Mike Manley's sickness.
"Tågligan" ("The Train Gang") by Donne Avenell and César Spadari is printed in black and white and is a classic story from 1987. This is the first time it has been reprinted by Sweden. It was also published in a Frew comic in issue #1536 (2009).
"Mörkrets väktare" ("Guardian of the Eastern Dark") by Lee Falk and Sy Barry features a re coloured story. I notice that the colour of the Phantom's costume is a bit dark.
"Skatten" ("The Treasure") by Michael Thoor is a futuristic story with the Phantom in mind but there is no Phantom in the story. Chronicle Chamber will touch upon this story and the creator in a future article to be released.
