Clearly 'Fred Basset' needs to go first.

What did they get rid of to add that new cartoon. Insanity Streak or something. Insanity Streak is terrible IMO.

I like it!

I can't say I've read it in awhile due to obvious reasons but I read it everyday, the same as any comic in the funny pages. I would get several each year in various showbags as a kid (isn't it funny it was always Phantom back issues that came in showbags, makes sense looking at the poll results though teef) and bought a few annuals too because they were good value reading. In fact I have the 50th or some special edition annual that came with a replica of the very first issue and featured several of the most defining stories.

I'd love to see them do a decent movie that's better than what that Billy Zane rubbish was.

I agree it's much better as a full comic but there you go. The newspaper versaion always has that classic line 'For those that came in late' ha.

I only ever bother with The Far Side.

Everything else sucks.

It's you isn't it?
It has come to our attention that a mysterious force is loose, somewhere in outer space. The mysteries of creation are there. Up in the sky? Up in the sky. The moon & the planets are there & new hopes for knowledge & peace are there. & therefore as we set sail we ask gods blessing on the most hazardous & dangerous & greatest adventure on which man has ever embarked. Prepare for lift off.

On this topic, I'm good friends with one of the guys who used to draw the Phantom comics for Marvel. He also illustrated Batman & The Green Lantern amongst a few others.

Believe it or not he lives in Tanunda and was doing all this from his studio here.
