We love comments and feedback from phans from around the world and would love to have your input on the following topics:

• Was Prince Dar too dumb in Frew 1982? Did he remind you of the Lee Falk princes from the Misty Mountains?
• Which is the biggest bug bare? The Phantom getting knocked in the head or creators introducing new tribes?
• Does your copy of Frew #1984 have the correct pages and order or is it mixed up like Dan's and Jermayn's?
• Do you recognise this bad guy from the “The Black Ghost” storyline?
• Did you enjoy the Operation Domino storyline? Would you like to see the stories published together? Do you think it would be a good story for Team Fantomen or other publishers to publish?
• Do you like Fabio Alves art style? Would you like to see more Phantom from it?
• Do you generally like filler stories? Do they work better as stand alone fillers or multi part ones?
• Did you like The Phantom receiving an American passport and tying in Diana with part 7 and 8?
• What comics do you have from around the world? Do you like seeing reviews of other comics from around the world?
• What did you think about the Michael Thoor story? Do you see it as a Phantom story?
• Do you think the "To Wrack and Ruin at Gravelines" story works better read as one long story like it is presented in the Norway 2024 year album?
