Hello and welcome phellow phan!

What a journey, what a marvellous adventure we call life!

I joined this website on 28 November 2023, not long after attending the opening weekend events (on 17 and 18 November 2023) of the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery's exhibit Phantom: Off the Drawing Board. At that exhibit I met a number of wonderful people who spoke of a legendary dinner, which I now know to be in relation to the Lee Falk Memorial Bengali Explorers Club.

Having attended the LFMBEC Dinner 35 on 22 June 2024 I can say the legends are true! Mars (talk) 07:56, 2 July 2024 (CEST)

I live in Brisbane and am mostly interested in Frew Phantom, but also have interests in the Italian Phantom, L'Uomo Mascherato, and different language publications. I would be very happy to collect the Phantom in each language (is it too much to say from each publisher?) and I am personally looking to locate extant Phantom Shields.

I agree with Jim Shepherd in Phantom Forum in The Phantom #1238 published 03 September 1999: "The suggestion about introducing the 22nd Phantom is regularly put forward, but the answer remains the same ... the adventures of The Ghost Who Walks began as a newspaper strip in 1936 with the introduction of the 21st Phantom. Like all the great comics characters - Dick Tracy, Prince Valiant, even Blondie and Dagwood - the central character (in this case, the 21st Phantom) will remain on centre stage for as long as the strip continues"

I welcome correspondence from phans near or far.
