X-Band: The Phantom Podcast #153 - The Stories Behind the Cards



In a fun podcast, we are joined by Mikael Lyck, the creator and developer behind The Phantom: The Card Game. We discuss and review the stories that Mikael has used as inspiration for his card game that is currently on Kickstarter and already fully funded. The stories we review are The Story of Devil, Diana in the Jungle Patrol and The 21st Phantom.





Devil’s Story

1979 Team Fantomen story, written by Donne Avenell, with art by Georges Bess and has been published in 14 countries. One reviewer labelled this as the best Team Fantomen story ever!

Sweden: published 5 times, first in Fantomen 23/1979, most recently Krönika 6/2007 Australia: 1992 (#1013), 1996 (#1125) and the 2017 Frew TPB For Those Who Came In Late


Diana in the Jungle Patrol
