You can purchase this comic and other back issues of Zauberstern Phantom comics from their website.
This comic is of great value with 100 page of comics in full colour on great quality paper for 10€. This magazine see's Zauberstern re-using a past cover instead of creating their own new covers which they have done previously. Do you prefer the publisher creating their own unique covers?
This cover was created by Sal Velluto & Eugenio Mattozzi and was original used as the cover #5A for Hermes Press comic book series published back in 2014. Issue #16, features part five and six. This is the first time that this Sal Velluto story has been published in Europe. I really his artwork and would like to see more of his work where possible.
The poster on the inside of this magazine is the first cover for issue #1 from the original Hermes Press comic series. Zauberstern cleverly has advertising on the back of the posters so if you remove it to hang on your wall, you do not loose anything from the story.
