Fantomen is a Swedish comic book series dedicated to Lee Falk's "The Phantom".

Issue overview

Regular seriese

The magazine started in 1950 as Serietidningen Fantomen and since 1990 (#20) the formal name is Lee Falk's Fantomen. Starting in 1963 the publisher started creating new Phantom stories exclusively for Fantomen. The magazine run many many other various figures as backup titles, as Mandrake the Magician in the years 1970 to 2005.

Fantomen has been the template for many similar publications in other countries, for example in Norway, Finland, Denmark, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Estonia and Russia. The cooperation has increased in recent years and since the 1990's, Fantomen is co-produced with Fantomet in Norway and Mustanaamio in Finland, meaning that the contents of the issues are basically the same, except for the editorial pages. Only a handful of issues published since the co-production began has had any major differences compared to their counterparts in the other countries.
