The Phantom will have a strong influence at the 2024 Stockholm International Comics Festival with several Phantom related guests, a Phantom panel and more. The event will be held at the Kulturhuset at Sergels Torg in Stockholm, Sweden on Saturday 25/5 and Sunday 26/5 between 11am and 5pm.
Egmont the publisher of the Fantomen magazine will be at the event with a booth. Jacob Habinc will be at the booth who not only edits and helps put the magazine together but has also written six short and full length Phantom stories.
The Scandinavian Chapter of the Lee Falk Memorial Bangalla Explorers Club (LFMBEC) will also have a booth with them selling their books "Från lila vålnad till blågul hjälte" ("From Purple Ghost to Blue-Yellow Hero") originally published in 2010 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Fantomen plus the "Lee Falk – Storyteller" book originally published in 2011 to celebrate Lee Falk's 100th birthday.
The Scandinavian Chapter will also be hosting a Phantom quiz at their booth where you can test your knowledge. I will be at the booth for some of the weekend and would love to hear from you.
The authors of the "Masks of the Phantom" in Fantomen 10-11/2024 (and published in Norway & Ireland) in Arild Waerness and Knut Robert Knutsen, will be guests of a panel starting at 11:15am on Saturday in the foyer on floor 3.
Regarding other Phantom related guests, we can confirm Robert Aman will be attending as he sells his new book. While he wont be selling his other two Phantom books for sale in "The Phantom Comics and the New Left: A Socialist Superhero" and "När Fantomen blev svensk" ("When the Phantom Became a Swede") go and say hi and get him to sign your own copy.
If you see any other Phantom related guests attending with booths, please let us know.
