The team does not get a chance to nerd out too much by discussing the Phantom in finer details. This podcast fixes that with one podcasters wife commenting that this is perhaps our nerdiest conversation ever!
We will discuss two big questions: Is it ethical for the Phantom to have a major treasure room and is the key to the Phantoms future, the digital comic? To join in this discussion we have Seuj Abir from India joining Dan Fraser, Stephen East and Jermayn Parker.
We would love your opinions on what we discuss in this podcast. You can email us at [email protected] or chat via our social media profiles with your feedback at Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram.
For those who have come in late, The Major Treasure Room houses artefacts from around the world throughout history that the Phantom has rescued or has been given to by people he has interacted with. The sole aim is to protect these items from fire, flood and destruction.
Throughout the past 60 odd years when it was first introduced, we have had stories created by from various Newspaper, Team Fantomen, Fratelli Spada and RGE creators. There has been nearly 100 different artefacts shown or have had stories written about them.
When the room was conceived by Lee Falk, the world was crazy coming off the second world war with various looted treasures being found. However is that still the case and should they be returned?
Our second and last Phantom hard question we will discuss in this podcast is the power of the digital comic. We have seen Lightning Strikes announcing their new monthly digital anthology, Comics Kingdom adding more importance with their digital daily comic website and three comic publishers in Frew, Fantomen and Mad Cave Studios releasing digital content.
Is it time for the Phantom to be pushed digitally more? Can the phantom comic survive without a digital presence?

During May 2024 there were a few comic conventions being held in Norway and Sweden. Thanks to phan Kristian Hellesund who has helped us with the recordings from the events we can now present them to you. It is a great opportunity to hear from some creators from around the world.
During this podcast we will hear from a panel discussion between Arild Wærness, Cormac Hughes, Knut Robert Knutsen and Kristian Hellesund. They will talk about their Phantom contributions including the Lightning Strikes comics.
The other Phantom artist we hear from are Mike Collins as he talks about about his history with the character, who he would like to see drawing the Phantom, his favourite stories, comparing him to other comic heroes and how to write stories from an African perspective.
As you would expect, a lot of the panels and discussions were held in the native spoken language which while are not included in this podcast will be uploaded on our website and YouTube Channel. If you do not speak Norwegian and Swedish, YouTube does allow automatic subtitles so if your nerdy enough, we would recommend clicking on that button.
We will hear from phan, writer and editor Andreas Eriksson, fans writers of the Norwegian story that was originally published in Lightning Strikes Arild Wærness and Knut Robert Knutsen plus an interview from Kristian Hellesund with Fantomen writer Sverre Arnes who wrote 20 stories in the 1990's.
A huge thanks goes to Kristian Hellesund for the recordings and helping us collect these.

The Sydney weekend in June every year is the national phan 'Meca' weekend that a lot of hardcore Australian phans enjoy attending. For 2024, Chronicle Chamber team members Dan Fraser and Jermayn Parker made their way to the event and present a wrap-up of the event.
This podcast is the collection of our thoughts as we sit together in the same room for a podcast recording. Plus, we collect the recordings from the 2024 Sydney Supanova featuring Game of Play Director Ash Nicholls and writer Matt Kyme. Continuing the Phantom video game theme of the weekend, we include an early game play of the first few levels and Ash Nicholls' speech at the 2024 35th Lee Falk Bangalla Explorers Club dinner.
Please note, we have not included the auctioning of the charity donated items in this podcast.

Please note, we recorded this podcast before the official announcement of the Mad Cave Studios Defenders of the Earth new comic series which also features Djordje Djokovic as the cover artist.
