Julie Ditrich is being billed as the first Australian female comic book writer with her new story for The Phantom - but is that true?

Can any of our Australian mates help us?

No Idea. She may be the first Australian Phantom comic book writer, but I would be surprised if there weren't some female independent comic book creators.

I believe Trudy Cooper had done Australian comics back in the '90s. The earliest Platinum Grit stories were in print before becoming a webcomic. Most of her current effort seems to be the NSFW webcomic Oglaf.

Looking for something to do in HMP Britain, I came across this new Phantom card game:

Seems a little pricey perhaps at 40 euros (although I'm a bit out of touch on prices) - but it does look magnificent - definitely added to my Christmas list.

Great to hear there's a Phantom Board Game too - from Frew:

Sadly, it appears to have sold out - maybe there will be a reprint

Have they ever offered Phantom rings?

Or are they worried about the fans using them the way the Phantom used his rings?

Have they ever offered Phantom rings?

I had some super cheap plastic ones as a kid. I'm sure there's been tons of them in all kinds of varying quality, it's the most obvious kind of Phantom merch you can make.

Have they ever offered Phantom rings?

Yes, many times, as this article attests.

I wouldn't mind a Good Mark ring. 
The ones from Planet Studio look pretty good.

Cheers!
