Paul Andreas It's great to see Italy give the Phantom another shot, but I can't help thinking they could have picked a more striking cover than the one they did. It would've been better to go with something from Lindahl, Klauba or Gohs in my eyes. I think the cover (by Germano Ferri) is really beautiful, and would love to see it reprinted in Scandinavia aswell. I hope the publishers are familiar enough with the Italian market to know what type of covers work best. All in all, I am hoping for a success for this series. The Italian fans deserve a new Phantom series with new stories, and the Team Fantomen classics deserve to be read by new readers.

I like the cover too, but I would personally probably have chosen a more dramatic cover for a first issue... But hey, that's just me, and not every cover needs to have the Phantom fighting someone. I wonder what Team Fantomen stories we can expect to be used. They should print the five part story that followed the Year One arc, one of the best adventures of recent years IMO.

I would probably set up an others section and then if they take of and become a regular publication you could give them their own page.

Evil Doer Posts: 422 Group: Team CC Member #23 Joined: April 9, 2006	I think the thing the covers will have in common is not original or Team Fantomen covers, but covers by Italian artists. Some will be old, some will be created exclusively - but my guess is that they will be by Italian artists. (OK, maybe a bit early to guess after only two issues, but I think I see a pattern... ) Edited by Andreas, Jun 27 2009, 10:05 PM.

Henchman Posts: 60 Group: Members Member #575 Joined: October 22, 2008	As you are discussing The Phantoms return to Italy............ Been trying for hours to figure this out. So, if I've got it right, you might be interested in some covers from my collection of Italian reprint volumes. If I've got it wrong you can have a good laugh at my feeble attempt to use technology.
