| #322: Psychology of Phantom fight scenes with Julie & Alex | 25 Nov 2025 | 00:59:06 | |
Action scenes are a critical component of any Phantom story, so how does a comics creator seek authenticity, credibility, and high-level danger and originality in combat scenes and thrill sequences? The answer is to consult a stunt performer. Phantom writer Julie Ditrich and film and TV stunt performer Alex Jewson discuss how they collaborate, the psychology of fight scenes, and the dramatic and emotional effects they are seeking when choreographing action for comic book pages. The psychology of fight scenes may seem a different idea to some, but the Phantom is not like normal superheroes. He does not have superpowers; he moves differently, he behaves differently, and we spend an hour going full on nerdy about how the Phantom behaves while in a fight. This is a fascinating subject. You will enjoy this podcast. You can follow Julie Ditrich at her website. You can follow Alex Jewson at his Instagram.

| #321 - Unpacking Old Jungle Sayings | 13 Nov 2025 | 01:03:02 | |
Following on from X-Band: The Phantom Podcast Episode 307, Jermayn Parker and Matt Kyme explored the many elements that were vital to making a Phantom story something that hits the mark for phans. One of those elements was Old Jungle Sayings, in this podcast we do a deep dive into Old Jungle Sayings! According to DeepWoods.org, a story cannot be a Phantom story without these sayings appearing more than once in a while. These sayings are in many ways responsible for the mystifying aura seen in Phantom stories. We look at what are these Old Jungle Sayings and go over some of our personal favourites or sayings that stick in our memories. There is 100+ in various subtle changes to choose from! We go all nerdy and look at the origins of them in the Phantom universe, from Old Native Sayings to Old Jungle Sayings. We compare them from a cultural impact and psychological role compared to real-life proverbs and religious mantras. The comparison doesn't stop there as we compare our Phantom's Old Jungle Sayings with oral proverbs preserving legendary heroes like Maui the Maori (New Zealand) demigod, and fear-based lore enforcing social norms, which you can see in the Bedouin, Apache, and Amazonian tribes from around the world. Our final step in our nerdom travels down Old Jungle Sayings is we compare this storytelling element to comic characters like Batman, Tarzan, Judge Dredd, Conan, and the famous meme master Chuck Norris. The Phantom is the only character with all of 1) Formally repeated, structured sayings (like folklore or scripture) 2) A generational myth actively maintained by the sayings ("The Phantom never dies") and 3) A tribal culture that embraces and perpetuates the myth as truth Batman and Zorro come close in terms of urban/fear-based mythology but lack the ritualistic repetition and communal cultural buy-in. This may end up being our smartest, most in-depth, and nerdiest Phantom podcast ever! We hope you enjoy it!

| X-Band: Phantom Podcast #319 - Passing the collection mantle on! | 14 Oct 2025 | 01:11:09 | |
If you listen to this podcast, chances are you are obsessed with purple (or blue in Scandinavia, Red in South America etc) and have an unhealthy fetish on all things Phantom. This podcast is something a little different; Jermayn Parker is joined by Sean Bassett and Nick Moles as we chat about collecting. We have interviewed and chatted with a few collectors like Pete Klaus (Episode #88), Jon Cookson (#75), Antonio DiDio (#258), Ohm Roy (#108) and Gary Horne (#64) but one thing we have not addressed much is what happens to our collections when it is time to pass the collection onto the next person? This may sound morbid, but what happens if you are not prepared & your collection is left to your loved ones to deal with? This podcast is to at least start the preparation and/or conversation so you can pass the collection onto the next generation. Some key discussion points we discuss are:

| #318 - Mad Cave Studios Phantom #1 review | 28 Sep 2025 | 00:33:02 | |
Wednesday 24 September 2025, Mad Cave Studios release their first regular feature Phantom comic on the back of their well received Defenders of the Earth comic series. Jermayn Parker and Scott Waldyn review the comic together. We talk about the elephant in the room of the Phantom showing his eyes for us readers plus what the comic does well. At the end of the day, it is a good comic. The story is solid and has a definite modern feel to it and we hope for those Falkist phans you give it a go. We would love to hear your thoughts on the comic. We have on purpose released this episode a week after it hit the comic stores around the world. You can either email us, leave your comments at our YouTube channel, and/or leave them at our social media platforms on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram. Is Scott Waldyn right that for many readers of the comic, they wont understand the importance of the lore of not seeing the Phantom eyes? What do you think? Is it a big deal? Is the blame on King Features for allowing this? Or is it on Tony DePaul who started this trend with his Daily story "Phantoms End"? Did you like the dual character perspective in the comic? Did you like the love and relationship shown between the Bandar and the Phantom? Did you like the art style? Does the Phantom not having stripped undies bother you? Anything else you would like to see discussed? Let us know and give us your thoughts. You can email us at chroniclechamber@gmail.com or chat with us via our social media profiles on Facebook, Twitter, and/or Instagram.

| #315 - Mad Cave Studios Defenders of the Earth Series 1 Review | 26 Aug 2025 | 00:54:49 | |
The second volume TPB of the Defenders of the Earth series by Mad Cave Studios is now out for sale around the world. Scott Wydon joins Stephen East and Jermayn Parker as they review all 8 issues from the series. They do a 5 minutes synopsis of the series and then get down to business talking about what they like, what they do not like and much more. We will be discussing the story in detail, so there will be spoilers. We recommend ensuring you read the series before you listen / watch this podcast. We have warned you! Why does the Phantom carry revolvers instead of his 1911's? Is the Phantom still alive and the Phantom? Or is Jedda now the Phantom? Will Jedda taking on the role of the Phantom see Rick, LJ and K'shin also take over the roles by their fathers? Will this then see a change of the song to become "8 becomes 4..." Is Ming still alive? Will Kurt return? Considering that Barin Atomics was used in the first series, will we see Prince Barin? Was bringing Xanadu in the pocket of Mandrake genius or too convenient? Are we seeing a return to the classic golden oldie characters? What would you like to see in the new Defenders of the Earth series starting in 2026? These plus much more are the questions we have. Have you read the series? What did you think about it? We love your comments and feedback from the Phantom phans from around the world.

| #313 - Sounds from 2025 LFMBEC & Supanova | 30 Jul 2025 | 01:39:31 | |
This podcast includes recordings from the Australian Phantom weekend, including the video from Lauren Marshall, who spoke beautifully at the 2025 LFMBEC dinner. Billy Zane completed many Q&As over the two weeks he was in Australia. He did Q&As at Sydney and Perth Supanova as well as other events at theaters located in Sydney and Melbourne in between the two weekends. Thanks must go to those fans who helped us with these recordings; unfortunately, we at Chronicle Chamber were unable to attend. Please note, these recordings were made onsite on location, so the quality in spots is questionable. Please bear with it, as the content is great. As you will find out when you listen to and/or watch this podcast, Lauren has an amazing story, and Billy Zane does indeed have a soft spot for the Phantom. It is almost like every second answer he gave to a question came back to the Phantom somehow. In the Perth Q&A at Supanova, he talked about how he would love to complete a passing of the Phantom mantle to the next actor in a TV show or movie when it happens. We would also like to see that. You? If you know of other Phantom creators attending events around the world, please also contact us. We would love to promote these events on our platforms. If you would like to help us promote Phantom-related guests at conventions and events, please contact us. We love your comments and feedback from the Phantom phans from around the world.

All these possibilities will depend on if the cards sell. If you would like to order your set, you can via the Saturday Morning Cards website.

Jermayn Parker is on his own as he talks to Chilean born Australian raised Marcelo Baez who is a Frew cover artist who has also drawn one short story so far.

How many can you find? Let us know. You can follow Marcelo Baez at his Instagram, or look at his work on his website.

The theme for this years annual is a monster theme with 8 stories with a mixture of colour & black and white over 220+ pages. What do we like, what do we not like and what rating do we give it? Listen and or watch and find out. Do not remember to let us know what you agree and or disagree with. Annuals are nothing new from around the world with British comics publishing them in hardcover albums during the 1950’s to the 1980’s as well as other countries publishing them. Frew published their first annual in 1991 and it was an instant hit. Frew published their first one in 1991 and it was an instant hit. Rumours are that it sold out overnight and many collectors bought dozens as investments. Ever since, Frew has released an annual. Bar the odd year (3?), a replica edition of the Frew comics have been released. Loved by some and loathed by others but they are a staple along with the annual. Since the Frew Crew has stood in the gap left by Jim Shepherd, they have released themed annuals with War, artists, Girl Phantom, Cowboy Phantoms, Animals of Edan and now its The Phantom vs The Monsters. For those who want to cherry pick there way through the podcast, we have listed what we disscused and the time stamps. We would however suggest you listen / watch to the whole podcast ;)

| #294 - Sounds of Brisbane 2024 Phan Gathering | 18 Nov 2024 | 01:33:49 | |
The 100th iteration of the iconic Supanova pop culture convention, in Brisbane November 2024, was a landmark event, especially for Phantom fans who descended upon the city in numbers. This year’s gathering was a celebration of all things Phantom, with a host of activities and special guests that made it an unforgettable experience. Among the highlights were appearances by talented Phantom cover artists Jamie Johnson, Alex Trpcevski, and Lauren Marshall. These renowned artists, each of them stars across many walks of fandom but known by Phantom phans for their work with Frew Publications, showcased their work with a range of prints, comics and commissions available . They each have recent, current, and upcoming covers which really added emphasis to the currency of our favourite character. Lauren, Alex and Jamie participated in an entertaining Phantom-themed sketch-off, much to the delight of fans who got to witness their creative process firsthand while peppering them with questions all the while. Saturday was packed with social activities that brought the Phantom community even closer. The day began with a casual breakfast hosted by Chris and Kim Hill, where fans were treated to informal catch-ups and a delightful brekky to accompany a tour of Chris' Minor and Major Treasure Rooms in their newly established Skull Cave. It was a delight to see Chris' thoughtful displays of some incredibly rare and diverse Phantom memorabilia and connect over our shared passions. The evening saw the inaugural Brisbane Phantom Phans’ Dinner, coordinated by the extraordinary Christopher Schaffer. This intimate gathering was set in a wonderful atmosphere, with a delicious menu and excellent company. A poignant toast was made to departed Phantom luminaries, including Lee Falk, Jim Shepherd and Richard Fry. Another highlight of the evening was a question and answer session with Shane Foley, Frew cover and story artist, who shared insights into his work and experiences, as well as passing some of his original art around for all to see. We're pleased to report that most of it got returned to him! Attendees were delighted to hear from Shane, making the dinner an even more memorable event. Brisbane Supanova 2024 was more than just a convention for those of us with purple in our veins. Thanks to Christopher's initiative and the support of others, it was a testament to the enduring legacy of the Phantom and the vibrant community that continues to celebrate this beloved character. For those who couldn’t attend, be sure to listen to the related podcast, where you can hear interviews with the three artists at Supanova, their sketch-off, and the Q&A with Shane Foley at the dinner. Here’s to many more gatherings and the continued adventures of the Ghost Who Walks! | |||

| #289 - Our Phantom Big Questions | 01 Sep 2024 | 00:52:08 | |
The team does not get a chance to nerd out too much by discussing the Phantom in finer details. This podcast fixes that with one podcasters wife commenting that this is perhaps our nerdiest conversation ever! We will discuss two big questions: Is it ethical for the Phantom to have a major treasure room and is the key to the Phantoms future, the digital comic? To join in this discussion we have Seuj Abir from India joining Dan Fraser, Stephen East and Jermayn Parker. For those who have come in late, The Major Treasure Room houses artefacts from around the world throughout history that the Phantom has rescued or has been given to by people he has interacted with. The sole aim is to protect these items from fire, flood and destruction. Throughout the past 60 odd years when it was first introduced, we have had stories created by from various Newspaper, Team Fantomen, Fratelli Spada and RGE creators. There has been nearly 100 different artefacts shown or have had stories written about them. When the room was conceived by Lee Falk, the world was crazy coming off the second world war with various looted treasures being found. However is that still the case and should they be returned? Our second and last Phantom hard question we will discuss in this podcast is the power of the digital comic. We have seen Lightning Strikes announcing their new monthly digital anthology, Comics Kingdom adding more importance with their digital daily comic website and three comic publishers in Frew, Fantomen and Mad Cave Studios releasing digital content. Is it time for the Phantom to be pushed digitally more? Can the phantom comic survive without a digital presence?
