Sorry That's the great thing about comics, you don't need a great deal of technical knowledge to read them.

That's probably the main reason why I don't read comic books on the computer screen. Paper all the way for me too.

The Egmont staff probably changed the hair color digitally. Either Biffignandi didn't know that Julie's hair color is blonde in Egmont stories, or it's just a generic "past Phantom with beautiful girl" that was changed to fit the Julie story.

Singh Leader Posts: 1,175 Group: Moderator Member #196 Joined: December 5, 2007	I received the first 4 Italian issues yesterday. I paid a little more then I probably should have for them but I was happy that I found all 4 in one the spot on e-bay so I was willing to pay it. I have only had a quick glance though them but the look pretty good. The print is Black & White on similar paper to Frew but it is more glossy then plain. There are also a few articles in each issue (time to start translating) and the inside back cover of each issue contains a 1 page continuing story about the Phantom & the Phantoms World (1st issue has his origin; another had some info on his marks and so on). Overall, I am fairly happy with them and will be definitely getting #5 & #6 when they come out. Plus Issue #1 has a story I haven’t see yet, The Water Of Life I think it is called, last published by Frew back in the 800’s somewhere which I don’t happen to own, so that's a bonus.

Evil Doer Posts: 430 Group: Team CC Member #23 Joined: April 9, 2006	The original price for the issues are 3 Euro, but some ebay sellers claims that the issues are "sold out" and sell them for three times the original price. I don't know if that's true or just a selling point, but they aren't available for purchase from the publisher's website any more. Edited by Andreas, Sep 10 2009, 04:52 PM.

Singh Leader Posts: 1,175 Group: Moderator Member #196 Joined: December 5, 2007	Yeah, I paid 9 each for mine. I probably could have found them cheaper if I shopped around on e-bay a bit but I was just happy to get them all from the one seller, saved on postage this way.
