Behind the scenes

  • In the Frew printing (at least #1620 in 2011) when the Phantom is examining the Chronicles of the 12th Phantom and the 13th Phantom the spines are marked with "F", not "P", because the story was written in Swedish, so, "Fantomen" instead of "Phantom". However, on the page from the 12th Phantom's Chronicle, it shows "P XII", instead of "F XII".
  • When Professor Dupont replies to the Phantom, he signs off "Sylvester Gyllenheim", adopting his ancestral name.
