'''RGE''' or Rio Gráfica e Editora was a [[Brazil]]ian publisher of comics.

== History ==
Rio Gráfica Editora, also known as '''RGE''', was aBrazilian comic book publisher and a division of the [[O Globo]] newspaper. Founded by Roberto Marinho, RGE was created in 1952 as the comic book and magazine publishing arm of O Globo, part of what was then known as Organizações Globo (now Grupo Globo), one of the largest media conglomerates in Latin America.

Although RGE was essentially part of the same media group, it could not initially use the name [[Editora Globo]] because another publishing house, Livraria do Globo—founded in 1883 and based in Porto Alegre—had been using the name Globo for publishing since 1928.

O Globo itself, founded in 1925, had a long history with comics. It began publishing Golden Age comic material in the late 1930s through two print series apart from the newspaper: [[O Globo Juvenil]] (1937) and [[Gibi]] (1939). On January 22, 1940, the newspaper started printing the daily strip of The Phantom to promote those comic book lines.

RGE gained prominence as the principal publisher of The Phantom in Brazil, even producing its own [[RGE stories|original Phantom stories]]. A dedicated [[Fantasma (RGE)|Phantom magazine]], titled ''Fantasma Magazine'', was launched in 1953 and continued publication until 1992.

In 1986, RGE acquired Livraria do Globo of Porto Alegre. The main goal of the acquisition was to secure the rights to the Globo name. After the purchase, RGE officially became [[Editora Globo]].

In January 2018, Editora Globo, Infoglobo (O Globo, [[Extra]] and others newspapers), and Valor Econômico were merged into a single company: Editora Globo, which came to own 21 brands. Later that same year, Grupo Globo began a unification process involving TV Globo, Globosat, Globo.com, and Globoplay under the initiative called "Uma Só Globo" ("One Globo"), aiming to consolidate their previously separate operations into a single structure. The completion of the first phase of this unification was officially announced in 2021.

'''Editora Globo''' was a [[Brazil]]ian publisher of comics.

== History ==
'''Editora Globo''' is a Brazilian publishing company and a subsidiary of Grupo Globo (formerly known as Organizações Globo), responsible for the publication of magazines, newspapers, and books. The company has played a central role in the development of Brazil's print media, particularly through its long-standing connection with the [[O Globo]] newspaper and its involvement in comic book publishing.

The origins of Editora Globo trace back to Rio Gráfica Editora ([[RGE]]), founded by Roberto Marinho in 1952 as the comic book and magazine publishing arm of O Globo. Although it operated under the Globo media group, RGE could not initially use the name Editora Globo because that name was already registered by Livraria do Globo, a publishing house founded in 1883 in Porto Alegre, which had been operating as a publisher since 1928.

Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, RGE was instrumental in expanding the reach of comics in Brazil. O Globo had already introduced comic strips to its readers, starting in 1937 with [[O Globo Juvenil]] and in 1939 with [[Gibi]], two popular comic book-style publications. On January 22, 1940, O Globo began publishing the The Phantom daily strip,s helping to promote its comics line.

RGE became the main Brazilian publisher of The Phantom, not only translating stories but also creating original content. In 1953, the [[Fantasma (RGE)
|Fantasma Magazine]] was launched and ran until 1992. RGE was also responsible for publishing other major titles, including Spider-Man, which became one of its most successful series.

In 1986, RGE acquired Livraria do Globo, primarily to gain the rights to use the Globo name. Following this acquisition, RGE officially changed its name to Editora Globo, consolidating its identity within the larger media conglomerate.

Editora Globo continued publishing comic books at newsstands until January 2008. At that time, the company announced it would end its traditional newsstand comic book line and focus instead on the bookstores and specialty stores.

In January 2018, Editora Globo, Infoglobo (O Globo, [[Extra]] and others newspapers), and Valor Econômico were merged into a single company: Editora Globo, which came to own 21 brands. Later that same year, Grupo Globo began a unification process involving TV Globo, Globosat, Globo.com, and Globoplay under the initiative called "Uma Só Globo" ("One Globo"), aiming to consolidate their previously separate operations into a single structure. The completion of the first phase of this unification was officially announced in 2021.

'''''O Globo''''' is a [[Brazil]]ian newspaper that published "[[The Phantom]]" [[daily strip]] between 1940 and 1995.

== History ==
''O Globo'', founded in 1925, is the major daily newspaper in Rio de Janeiro, and is part of the '''Grupo Globo''' (former '''Organizações Globo''') media conglomerate, that includes newspapers (Infoglobo), magazines ([[Editora Globo]]), tv stations (Rede Globo de Televisão), cable tv stations (Globosat), radio stations (Sistema Globo de Rádio) and a charitable foundation (Fundação Roberto Marinho).

In 1952, Roberto Marinho established a publishing house named Rio Gráfica e Editora ([[RGE]]). He originally intended to name it Editora Globo but was prevented from doing so because Livraria do Globo, a company originally founded in 1883 and based in Porto Alegre, had been operating as a publisher since 1928. RGE became the magazine publishing arm of ''O Globo''. A Phantom magazine, titled ''[[Fantasma (RGE)|Fantasma Magazine]]'' was launched in 1953. In 1986, RGE acquired Editora Globo. The main reason for the acquisition was to obtain the rights to the "Globo" name. Following the acquisition, RGE officially became Editora Globo. The Phantom magazines continued being published until 1992.

In 1998, Infoglobo launched the newspaper [[Extra]], which published The Phantom daily strip between July 21, 2014, and March 13, 2015.

In January 2018, Editora Globo, Infoglobo, and Valor Econômico were merged into a single company: Editora Globo, which came to own 21 brands. Later that same year, Grupo Globo began a unification process involving TV Globo, Globosat, Globo.com, and Globoplay under the initiative called "Uma Só Globo" ("One Globo"), aiming to consolidate their previously separate operations into a single structure.

O Globo

2025-05-28T18:46:10Z

Hyuji:

'''''O Globo''''' is a [[Brazil]]ian newspaper that published "[[The Phantom]]" [[daily strip]] between 1940 and 1995.

== History ==
''O Globo'', founded in 1925, is the major daily newspaper in Rio de Janeiro, and is part of the '''Grupo Globo''' (former '''Organizações Globo''') media conglomerate, that includes newspapers (Infoglobo), magazines (Editora Globo), tv stations (Rede Globo de Televisão), cable tv stations (Globosat), radio stations (Sistema Globo de Rádio) and a charitable foundation (Fundação Roberto Marinho). ''O Globo'' started publishing Golden Age comics with ''[[O Globo Juvenil]]'' (launched in 1937) and ''[[Gibi]]'' (1939). Two newspaper print comic book series that were published apart from the newspaper. But starting in January 22, 1940 they began publishing "[[The Phantom]]" daily strip on the newspaper in order to promote the two aforementioned comic book series. In 1952, Roberto Marinho established a publishing house named Rio Gráfica e Editora ([[RGE]]). He originally intended to name it Editora Globo but was prevented from doing so because Livraria do Globo, a company originally founded in 1883 and based in Porto Alegre, had been operating as a publisher since 1928. RGE became the magazine publishing arm of ''O Globo''. A Phantom magazine, titled ''[[Fantasma (RGE)|Fantasma Magazine]]'' was launched in 1953. In 1986, RGE acquired Editora Globo. The main reason for the acquisition was to obtain the rights to the "Globo" name. Following the acquisition, RGE officially became Editora Globo. The Phantom magazines continued being published until 1992.

In 1998, Infoglobo launched the newspaper [[Extra]], which published The Phantom daily strip between July 21, 2014, and March 13, 2015.

In January 2018, Editora Globo, Infoglobo, and Valor Econômico were merged into a single company: Editora Globo, which came to own 21 brands. Later that same year, Grupo Globo began a unification process involving TV Globo, Globosat, Globo.com, and Globoplay under the initiative called "Uma Só Globo" ("One Globo"), aiming to consolidate their previously separate operations into a single structure. The completion of the first phase of this unification was officially announced in 2021.

EBAL

2025-05-27T14:04:43Z

Hyuji:

'''EBAL''' or Editora Brasil - América Limitada was a [[Brazil]]ian publisher of comics.

== History ==
'''EBAL''' (short for '''Editora Brasil-América Limitada''') was one of the most important comic book publishers in Brazil. It was founded on May 18, 1945, by Adolfo Aizen, a Russian Jewish immigrant who settled in Brazil and became a pioneering editor. Aizen played a central role in establishing comic books as a popular medium in the country.

Before founding EBAL, Aizen had a long and influential career in Brazilian publishing. He worked at the magazines O Malho and O Tico-Tico and the newspaper [[O Globo]]. After a trip to the United States in the early 1930s, Aizen became fascinated by the popularity of comic strip supplements in American newspapers. Back in Brazil, he met Arroxelas Galvão, the Brazilian representative of King Features Syndicate, to sell adventure comic strips to local newspapers.

Aizen, however, recognized the potential of the format. He negotiated with Galvão and secured the rights to publish several King Features characters. This led to the first publication of adventure strips like Flash Gordon in Brazil. Aizen proposed the idea of a comics supplement to O Globo’s owner, Roberto Marinho, but Marinho rejected it, claiming it would be too costly. Undeterred, Aizen left the newspaper and launched Suplemento Juvenil in 1934, through the newspaper A Nação.

With the success of Suplemento Juvenil, Aizen founded the Grande Consórcio de Suplementos Nacionais. In response, Roberto Marinho eventually created O Globo Juvenil, initiating a rivalry that would shape Brazilian comics for years. Aizen countered with publications such as O Lobinho and O Mirim—the latter being the first Brazilian magazine to adopt the American "comic book" format, released in 1937. In 1939, O Gibi was launched by Marinho's group to compete directly with Aizen’s titles.EBAL’s first release was Seleções Coloridas in 1946, a joint effort with Argentina’s Editorial Abril, which held the rights to Disney characters. EBAL went on to publish an impressive catalog of international comics, introducing Brazilian audiences to major characters from DC Comics, Marvel, King Features, and classic literature adaptations via its Edição Maravilhosa series.

The company’s most successful and long-running title was Superman, which ran from 1947 to 1983.

''Coleção King'' was a short-lived series of five books from 1948 that contained prose adaptations of stories for various [[King Features Syndicate]] characters. The Phantom appeared in one book entitled [[O Fantasma: Em Justiça do Deserto|''O Fantasma: Em Justiça do Deserto'']], which reprinted "[[The Phantom & Desert Justice]]" story (text version of "[[The Slave Traders]]") from [[Coleção Gibi|''Coleção Gibi'']].

Between January 1979 and November 1980, EBAL published [[Album do Fantasma|a series of five large format color volumes]]. The first issue reprinted "[[The Childhood of the Phantom (1944 story)|The Childhood of the Phantom]]", and the next four volumes combined to reprint "[[The Singh Brotherhood (story)|The Singh Brotherhood]]". The striking cover artwork for all five albums was by [[A. Monteiro Filho]].

In the late 1980s, EBAL expanded into Japanese tokusatsu heroes from Toei Company, publishing comics based on Jaspion, Changeman, Sharivan, and others—many produced by Studio Velpa. However, with the rise of new publishers and the death of Adolfo Aizen in 1991, EBAL’s influence waned.

The publisher officially ceased operations in 1995, after releasing its final volume of Prince Valiant. Its archives were donated to the Museu Permanente de Histórias em Quadrinhos (Permanent Museum of Comics), later transferred to Brazil’s National Library, ensuring EBAL’s legacy in Brazilian cultural history.

Globo

Hyuji:

'''Editora Globo''' was a [[Brazil]]ian publisher of comics.

== History ==
'''Editora Globo''' is a Brazilian publishing company and a subsidiary of Grupo Globo (formerly known as Organizações Globo), responsible for the publication of magazines, newspapers, and books. The company has played a central role in the development of Brazil's print media, particularly through its long-standing connection with the [[O Globo]] newspaper and its involvement in comic book publishing.

The origins of Editora Globo trace back to Rio Gráfica Editora ([[RGE]]), founded by Roberto Marinho in 1952 as the comic book and magazine publishing arm of O Globo. Although it operated under the Globo media group, RGE could not initially use the name Editora Globo because that name was already registered by Livraria do Globo, a publishing house founded in 1883 in Porto Alegre, which had been operating as a publisher since 1928.

Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, RGE was instrumental in expanding the reach of comics in Brazil. O Globo had already introduced comic strips to its readers, starting in 1937 with [[O Globo Juvenil]] and in 1939 with [[Gibi]], two popular comic book-style publications. On January 22, 1940, O Globo began publishing the The Phantom daily strip,s helping to promote its comics line.

RGE became the main Brazilian publisher of The Phantom, not only translating stories but also creating original content. In 1953, the [[Fantasma (RGE)
|Fantasma Magazine]] was launched and ran until 1992. RGE was also responsible for publishing other major titles, including Spider-Man, which became one of its most successful series.

In 1986, RGE acquired Livraria do Globo, primarily to gain the rights to use the Globo name. Following this acquisition, RGE officially changed its name to Editora Globo, consolidating its identity within the larger media conglomerate.

Editora Globo continued publishing comic books at newsstands until January 2008. At that time, the company announced it would end its traditional newsstand comic book line and focus instead on the bookstores and specialty stores.

In January 2018, Editora Globo, Infoglobo (O Globo and others newspapers), and Valor Econômico were merged into a single company: Editora Globo, which came to own 21 brands. Later that same year, Grupo Globo began a unification process involving TV Globo, Globosat, Globo.com, and Globoplay under the initiative called "Uma Só Globo" ("One Globo"), aiming to consolidate their previously separate operations into a single structure. The completion of the first phase of this unification was officially announced in 2021.

''''''Bold text'''RGE''' or Rio Gráfica e Editora was a [[Brazil]]ian publisher of comics.

== History ==
Rio Gráfica Editora, also known as '''RGE''', was aBrazilian comic book publisher and a division of the [[O Globo]] newspaper. Founded by Roberto Marinho, RGE was created in 1952 as the comic book and magazine publishing arm of O Globo, part of what was then known as Organizações Globo (now Grupo Globo), one of the largest media conglomerates in Latin America.

Although RGE was essentially part of the same media group, it could not initially use the name [[Editora Globo]] because another publishing house, Livraria do Globo—founded in 1883 and based in Porto Alegre—had been using the name Globo for publishing since 1928.

O Globo itself, founded in 1925, had a long history with comics. It began publishing Golden Age comic material in the late 1930s through two print series apart from the newspaper: [[O Globo Juvenil]] (1937) and [[Gibi]] (1939). On January 22, 1940, the newspaper started printing the daily strip of The Phantom to promote those comic book lines.

RGE gained prominence as the principal publisher of The Phantom in Brazil, even producing its own [[RGE stories|original Phantom stories]]. A dedicated [[Fantasma (RGE)|Phantom magazine]], titled ''Fantasma Magazine'', was launched in 1953 and continued publication until 1992.

In 1986, RGE acquired Livraria do Globo of Porto Alegre. The main goal of the acquisition was to secure the rights to the Globo name. After the purchase, RGE officially became [[Editora Globo]].

In January 2018, Editora Globo, Infoglobo (O Globo and others newspapers), and Valor Econômico were merged into a single company: Editora Globo, which came to own 21 brands. Later that same year, Grupo Globo began a unification process involving TV Globo, Globosat, Globo.com, and Globoplay under the initiative called "Uma Só Globo" ("One Globo"), aiming to consolidate their previously separate operations into a single structure. The completion of the first phase of this unification was officially announced in 2021.

'''Opera Graphica Editora''' was a [[Brazil]]ian publisher of comics.
== History ==
Opera Graphica was founded in 1998 by [[Franco de Rosa]] and Carlos Mann. The company primarily published American comics for the Brazilian market, including "Prince Valiant", "Beetle Bailey", "Batman", "100 Bullets" and "[[Mandrake the Magician]]".

In 2001, Opera Graphica began to publish "[[Phantom]]" comics in Brazil. However, Opera Graphica released Phantom comics in several different series in various formats. Only one series lasted more than two issues, and Phantom releases became more and more sporadically. Opera Graphica's license to publish Phantom comics in Brazil was not exclusive; in 2007 (a year when Opera Graphica didn't publish any Phantom comics), [[Mythos Editora]] launched two new Phantom series, but like Opera Graphica's attempts they were not succesful and only a few issues were published.

At one time, Opera Graphica attempted to obtain a license to produce original Phantom stories. However, they never obtained such a license from [[King Features Syndicate]] and the closest they came to producing an original Phantom story was the manga-style "[[Fantagor]]", produced in cooperation with Editora Minuano.

In 2008, it was announced that Opera Graphica would cease operations. The final book published was the "official biography" of the Phantom comic strip; ''[[Fantasma: Biografia Oficial do Primeiro Herói Fantasiado dos Quadrinhos]]''.

Zigomar

2025-05-26T23:45:58Z

Hyuji:

'''"Zigomar"''' was a Yugoslavian comic based on "[[The Phantom]]".

== History ==
Zigomar is a fictional comic book character, whose adventures were published by magazine called ''Mikijevo carstvo'' (i.e. "Mickey's Kingdom") in the late 1930's, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia. When the owner Milutin S. Ignjačević started the magazine, most of the popular comic strips like "The Phantom", "Flash Gordon", and Disney characters, were already published by the other child magazines such as ''[[Mika Miš]]'' (i.e. "Mickey Mouse") and ''[[Politikin Zabavnik]]'' (Politika's funny papers – an imprint of a daily newspaper ''Politika''). So, trying to bring something new to the readers, "Mikijevo carstvo" started a new comic called "Zigomar", a character resembling American comic heroes of that time.

The artist of this new comic was [[Nikola Navojev]] (his pen-name was Nick Woodly), young Russian refugee, who came to Yugoslavia after the communist revolution in his native country. The writer was [[Branko Vidić]]. Zigomar was a young, wealthy new-yorker, who secretly fought crime, wearing a mask, a caped costume and a ring with letter "Z" sign on it, wich stayed on the faces of the evil-doers when he punched them, just like the Phantom's ring did. He also had a kid sidekick, a chinese boy named Chi-Yang. Nobody knew his secret identity, apart from Chi-Yang and of course, the readers.

Phantom 2040 (TV series)

2025-05-26T23:41:14Z

Hyuji: /* External links */

'''''Phantom 2040''''' is an animated science fiction television series loosely based on the comic strip hero [[The Phantom]], created by [[Lee Falk]]. The central character of the series is said to be [[the 24th Phantom]]. The unusual character designs are the work of Peter Chung, creator of ''Æon Flux''.

The show debuted in 1994 to rave reviews, though it survived only 33 episodes before it was relegated to weekend repeats in 1996. Along with action sequences, stories focused on intelligent plotting and character development, winning the series praise for its subtle teaching of such values as individuality, freedom, and the volatility of humanity. It also spawned [[Phantom 2040 (comics)|comic book tie-ins]] and other merchandise.

Featured voice actors included Scott Valentine, Margot Kidder, Ron Perlman, and Jeff Bennett, while Mark Hamill, Debbie Harry, Rob Paulsen, and Paul Williams had recurring roles.

==Story==
In the year 2040, environmental disasters and the economic Resource Wars of the early 21st century have decimated the fragile ecological balance of an Earth once teeming with life. Everywhere, the privileged and wealthy continue to thrive in expensive real estate developments that tower above the suffering masses. The victims of Earth’s misfortune have been forced to subsist on scavenged refuse from the past on the mangled streets of forlorn city-states.

In Metropia (once known as New York City), the largest and most powerful of the city-states, the powerful robotics manufacturing corporation Maximum Inc. has slowly shaped a cold, steely urban center, consisting of huge, residential towers intertwined with TubeTrain tunnels. Maximum's robotic "biots" ('''Bi'''ological '''O'''ptical '''T'''ransputer '''S'''ystem) have replaced enormous amounts of human labour, and the corporation is illegally producing prohibited combat biots to form Maximum's personal underground army. Maximum has plans to construct the fortress of Cyberville, an immense survival shelter where only the wealthiest and most elite humans will retreat once Earth finally succumbs to its slowly deteriorating state and Maximum's biot armies take control of Metropia.

The only hope for the survival of humanity is the Ghost Jungle — thousands of square miles of mutated vegetation that may be the planet's salvation. This secret source of life is submerged beneath Metropia where no one is aware of it, but fortunately, college student Kit Walker Jr. is chosen by fate to save the world, donning the black mask and purple suit of his people’s savior, the 24th Phantom.

The role of the Phantom has been passed on from father to son since the 1500s, leading the world to believe that the Phantom is a single immortal individual. Kit, the 24th in the line, is young, unsure, and inexperienced, but he finds within him the courage and might to battle the evil that threatens to destroy the Earth.

==Reaction==
Phantom 2040, unlike the Ghost Who Walks previous animated outing ''Defenders of the Earth'', is
well liked by many Phans. Debuting in 1994 the series received rave reviews from critics and
audience member alike. It was praised for its intelligent stories and character development, hight
quality animation (especially in action scenes) and subtle teaching of such values as individuality,
freedom and the volatility of humanity.

The series was something of a large departure from Lee Falk's original comics. As with ''DotE'' this was a sci-fi series, not a pure jungle adventure show. However, with the Ghost Jungle, an element of the character's jungle origins was kept. The character designs for the series were the work of Peter Chung, creator of the cult hit anime series ''Æon Flux''. While some Phans liked this stylized design others felt that the
characters, especially that of the Phantom were "too skinny."

The series, while critically successful, only lasted for 33 episodes.

==Characters==
*'''Kit Walker, Jr.''' — The 24th Phantom, Kit was not trained for the role like his ancestors were. His father died under mysterious circumstances when he was only a baby, and he grew up not knowing about his heritage. When [[Guran (Phantom 2040)|Guran]] tells him about the Phantom on his eighteenth birthday, he is initially disbelieving, but takes on the role with increasing conviction. His equipment includes optical camouflage for invisibility, a wristband that contains a powerful computer ("analytical"), and another that contains a smart inductance rope. He has several vehicles, including a nimble airborne Hypercycle, a cloaking multi-passenger cruiser and an upgraded 1999 Mustang named "Hero", after the 21st Phantom's [[Hero|horse]]. Voiced by Scott Valentine.
* '''[[Guran (Phantom 2040)|Guran]]''' — Kit's mentor, whose family have been aiding the Phantom for generations. Together with [[Professor Jack Archer|Jack Archer]], Guran instructs the Phantom in combat, morality, and life itself, and is frequently seen reciting insightful "[[old jungle sayings]]" to Kit and others. After [[the 23rd Phantom]]'s death, Guran blamed himself, and consumed in his sadness and self-hatred he became the legendary Shadow Panther, until he was freed from his mourning forever by Kit Walker Jr. Voiced by J.D. Hall.
*'''[[Professor Jack Archer|Jack Archer]]''' — A scientist and professor in biology at Kit's university. After Kit dons the identity of the Phantom, Archer takes only a short time to deduce that they are one and the same, and becomes one of the few who know the Phantom's true identity. Together with Guran, Archer takes on the role of Kit's mentor, particularly in scientific and contemporary parts of his education. Voiced by Alan Oppenheimer.
* '''"[[Sparks]]" (Daniel Aguilar)''' — A young, orphaned cyber-surfer who is rescued by Kit after Maximum mistakes Sparks as the Phantom. Sparks is unofficially adopted into the Phantom's lair, and assists in the technological parts of their endeavours. When he was three, his parents, Esteban and María, were kidnapped by Maximum and cruelly used as the mental tissue for the biomechanical "living building" Project Gauntlet, Cyberville's security system. Voiced by Pamela Adlon.
* '''Sagan Cruz''' — A Metropian policewoman or "Enforcer", who is attracted to Kit but is initially unaware of his dual identity, and is skeptical about the Phantom's motives. She later figures out his secret and eventually becomes Kit's love interest and partner. She has a genetically-engineered police dog named D.V.L. (a reference to [[the 21st Phantom]]'s wolf, [[Devil]]) and in combat dons a well-armoured Enforcer suit. Voiced by Leah Remini.
* '''Aunt [[Heloise]]''' — Kit's only living relative, Heloise is the daughter of the 21st Phantom. She kept the truth from Kit, hoping he could lead a normal life, but accepts Kit's choice to become the 24th Phantom and assists him in his plans to stop Maximum Inc. Voiced by Carrie Snodgress.
* '''Rebecca Madison''' — The series villain, chairperson of Maximum Inc. and widow of the 23rd Phantom's killer, Maxwell Madison Sr. Rebecca plans to construct Cyberville, a technological and impenetrable fortress where the select wealthy and elite may seek refuge when the Earth begins to deteriorate (something Rebecca's underground biot army will ensure takes place relatively soon), but her plans of domination are frequently being foiled by the Phantom. Other than Graft and her son, Maxwell Madison Jr., no other humans are employed by Maximum, which has its own biots perform all labour. Voiced by Margot Kidder.
* '''Maxwell Madison Jr.''' — Rebecca's sociopathic son, whose intelligence is belied by his laziness and disinterest in almost everything. When he does have an opinion on something, he presents it as coming from his cat, Baudelaire. He is psychologically disturbed with the disorders being rooted in the loss of his father at such an early age. His cat, perhaps the last remaining symbol of his fathers love for him, is his only and most trusted friend. Voiced by Jeff Bennett.
* '''Hubert Graft''' — Rebecca Madison's Chief of Security and main enforcer, a cyborg who blames the Phantom for his condition. He was formerly an environmentalist who fought against Maximum to protect the Amazonian rainforest, before losing his whole body below the shoulders in combat. Maximum rebuilt Graft's body using biot parts, giving Rebecca Madison complete control over Graft's life. Graft's biot torso can be disconnected at the hip and integrated into other robotic systems over which Graft has complete control, most commonly the Urban Combat Biot Walker, a ten-foot steel exoskeleton armed with lasers and claws. Voiced by Ron Perlman in the first season, and Richard Lynch in the second.
* '''Doctor Jak''' — A cynical TV journalist who reports the Phantom's activities with a flip spin. His arrogance and vanity bring him to believe that rather than being merely a reporter of news, he "is the news". In "Matter Over Mind", it is discovered that after Jak's wife perished in the Grand Central Station crash, he attempted an illegal operation to integrate an analytical computer into his mind, but the operation was interrupted and the analytical program thought lost. Dr. Jak was left part-biot, with sensory implants on his head and a multi-purpose eyepiece which he uses to film his news program, The Dr. Jak Show. His character and the way in which he criminalises the Phantom are comparable to J. Jonah Jameson of ''Spider-Man''. Voiced by Mark Hamill.
* '''Mr. Cairo''' — A mysterious information broker who only appears in holographic transmissions and who deals with both the Phantom and Maximum Inc. Early on, he discovers the Phantom's true identity, but chooses to withhold the information from Rebecca Madison despite the enormous reward being offered. He is later revealed to actually be the sentient analytical program separated from Dr. Jak's consciousness, but he decides not to rejoin Dr. Jak's mind and instead stays on to loyally assist the Phantom. Voiced by Paul Williams.
* '''Sean One''' — The first human born in outer space and founder and leader of the Free Orbital Movement, Sean One seeks independence for his Orbital colonies. An arrogant and abnormally tall man, he resorts to espionage and terrorist attacks in order to achieve his ends and is unable to walk by himself while in the presence of gravity. He is revered among the Orbitals' inhabitants in an almost god-like way, and is extremely apathetic towards whom he calls the "gravity-slaves" of Earth. Voiced by Rob Paulsen.
* '''Gorda''' — A morbidly-obese crime lord and smuggler from Australia who is unable to move by herself and has an army of strong, red-tinted biots under her command. She refers to herself in third-person and has a well-armed robotic kangaroo as her sole companion. Voiced by Paddi Edwards.
* '''Heisenberg''' — A shape-shifting fractal biot built by Max Madison Jr. using nanites grown in space by Sean One, named by Maxwell after the German physicist Werner Heisenberg. Heisenberg is the first stable fractal biot created by Maximum, and is controlled by Maxwell using a separate remote brain which must be carried around in a case. Heisenberg is forced to impersonate the Phantom and succeeds in criminalising him with the help of Dr. Jak, but after a confrontation with the Phantom, Maxwell loses the remote brain and hence control of Heisenberg. Afterwards, the fractal biot gains independence and a form of sentience, dons a cloak and seeks answers for his past, remembering nothing of his creation other than his name. He meets a wise street saxophonist named Betty, and after deciding to take his own path, becomes a "teacher" to biots everywhere, helping them to be free from their human owners and become self-aware. Heisenberg eventually joins the Phantom and becomes a close companion to Pavlova, Dr. Jak's assistant. Voiced by Rob Paulsen.
* '''Pavlova''' - Dr. Jak's personal biot assistant, distinguishable by red symbols on her face. Pavlova sometimes questions the honesty and morality of Jak's news uploads, but always has her memory wiped by Jak afterwards (a task he does somewhat reluctantly). Nicknamed "Pav" by Jak, the reporter treats her as his friend and sometimes even in a joking, romantic way, due to the fact that Pavlova was named after Jak's late wife. Pavlova also befriends Heisenberg, who takes an interest in her. She ultimately tells Jak "I will program myself from now on." At which later Jak laments, "You just had to be your own person, just like her." Referring to Pav' name sake. Voiced by Liz Georges.
* '''Vaingloria''' — A popular starlet singer trained by Maximum Inc. to brainwash the public. It is known that Rebecca Madison found her as a street urchin and offered her food, shelter and fame in exchange for her services for Maximum. Rebecca had her fitted with retractable mirrors which can focus light to such a strength that looking at the mirrors can overload the mind's senses, tricking the public's minds into adoring her and on Maximum's orders using them to completely brainwash certain people (it can be assumed that the mirrors are difficult to control with precision, as Vaingloria once accidentally sent a victim into a coma). Vaingloria reluctantly takes part in several of Maximum's plots and becomes particularly close to Graft, who treats her in a (albeit cold) fatherly way. He ultimately hardwires her mirrors she can use them on her own. Voiced by Deborah Harry.
* '''Betty''' — A wise street saxophonist who becomes Heisenberg's best friend and companion. She is seen to be aware of everything around her and frequently relating life to the blues. Voiced by Iona Morris.
* '''Maxwell Madison Sr.''' — Rebecca's deceased husband, who was killed along with the 23rd Phantom in a toxic train wreck. Rebecca captured his brainwaves and stores them in an enormous computer, and is constantly seeking a stable way to transfer them into a biot or preferably a living body to effectively resurrect Maxwell Madison Sr. He was regarded as a very dangerous and power-hungry man when he was alive and in control of Maximum, Inc, but it is discovered that his plans for the world were very ecologically beneficial and that his ambitious wife Rebecca sabotaged his plans in favor of greedy, selfish world domination. Voiced by Jeff Bennett.

==Video game==
:''See [[Phantom 2040 (video game)]]''

A ''[[Phantom 2040 (video game)|Phantom 2040]]'' video game was produced for [[Sega Genesis]], [[Game Gear]] and [[Super NES]], and like the animated series, it received very positive reviews despite its obscurity. It is possible to play as both the Phantom and, in the Game Gear version, his alter-ego, Kit Walker. The game has over 20 different endings, depending on the choices the player makes while progressing through the story, and revolves around Rebecca Madison's attempts to create a biot army, revive her dead husband and seize control of both Metropia and the world.

==Comic books==
:''See [[Phantom 2040 (comics)]]''
''Phantom 2040'' was adapted into a comic book series by [[Marvel Comics]] in 1995 (cover dated May-Aug. 1995). Only four issues were published, released as a mini-series . The stories were only loosely based on the TV series, and had a different tone than the dark, complicated animated show. The comic book was written by [[Peter Quinones]], pencilled by [[Steve Ditko]], and inked by [[Bill Reinhold]]. Each issue featured a free poster drawn by such artists as [[John Romita Sr.]].

==VHS and DVD editions==
Many episodes of the series have been released on VHS and DVD, but a definitive collection is yet to come. A DVD called ''[[Phantom 2040: The Ghost Who Walks]]'' was released in 2004, and includes the first five episodes of the series edited into a "movie". Many other episodes were released on VHS in the late 1990s:

*[[Phantom 2040: Volume 1|Generation Unto Generation (part 1 & 2)]]
*[[Phantom 2040: Volume 2|Fire and I.C.E. / The Sum of the Parts]]
*[[Phantom 2040: Volume 3|Dark Orbit (part 1 & 2)]]
*[[Phantom 2040: Volume 4|The Ghost in the Machine / The Biot in Red]]

==Trivia==
* The second episode begins with a 'recorded' voiceover that is preceded by a sound effect originally created by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop for the UK radio series ''The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy''. It is the sound the Guide makes before responding to a question.

*The Phantoms multi-purpose vehicle was named H.E.R.O. after the comic strip Phantoms' horse [[Hero]].

*Sagan Cruz, the 24th Phantom's love interest and future police officer works with a cyborg police dog named D.V.L, a reference to the 21st Phantom's wolf [[Devil]].

*In the Phantom 2040 video game the initials J.P can be found spray painted on the walls of the subway which contains the Ghost Jungle, a reference to the [[Jungle Patrol]] from the comic strip.

*For some unknown reason, the Phantom legacy is said to have started in 1566 instead of 1536 as in the comics.

Defenders of the Earth (TV series)

2025-05-26T23:40:53Z

Hyuji: /* External links */

'''''Defenders of the Earth''''' is an animated television series featuring characters from three comic strips distributed by [[King Features Syndicate]] — Flash Gordon, [[The Phantom]], and Mandrake the Magician — battling the Flash Gordon villain Ming the Merciless in the year 2015. Supporting characters include their children Rick Gordon, Jedda Walker (daughter of The Phantom), Kshin (adopted son of Mandrake), Mandrake's assistant Lothar, and Lothar's son L.J. The show lasted for 65 episodes; there was also a short-lived [[Defenders of the Earth (comics)|comic book series]] published by [[Star Comics]] (an imprint of [[Marvel Comics]]).

==Premise==
The plot begins with Flash Gordon and his son Rick escaping from Ming the Merciless. Ming has exhausted all the natural resources of his home planet Mongo and has set his sights on Earth. Flash's unnamed wife (presumably Dale Arden from the original Flash Gordon comics) is captured and Ming tries to brainwash her. She resists to the point of death.

==Characters==
===Protagonists===
*Flash Gordon is the legendary space hero and leader of the Defenders of the Earth. He is an ace space fighter pilot and the father of Rick Gordon.

*[[The 27th Phantom|The Phantom]] is the legendary "Ghost Who Walks", and his true name is Kit Walker. According to a note in the end credits, this is the 27th Phantom. This version of the Phantom is different from how he is portrayed in the comics. By chanting "By jungle law, the ghost who walks calls forth the power of ten tigers" he is temporarily given superhuman strength. In the comics, the Phantom does not have any supernatural powers. In the show his horse [[Hero]] and his wolf [[Devil]] also make brief appearances.

*Mandrake the Magician is a cultured man of mystery who has magical powers and knowledge of the occult. He frequently uses illusions both in and out of combat to achieve his goals.

*Lothar is superhumanly strong and a close friend of Mandrake. He is also portrayed as a mechanical wizard and a master tactician.

*Richard "Rick" Gordon is an impulsive computer genius and the son of Flash Gordon. Rick, along with many of the other teenagers of the show, attended Central High located in Central city.

*Kshin is an orphaned Asian boy adopted by Mandrake, who is training him as his apprentice. As the younger of the group, he is always trying to prove he is worthy of being a true hero. His country of origin was never specifically identified in the series. Kshin has a pet alien called Zuffy — an orphaned Zuffoid found by Rick Gordon on the planet Mongo.

*L.J. (Lothar Junior) is the street wise martial arts expert son of Lothar, as well as Rick's best friend.

*[[Jedda Walker]] is the daughter of The Phantom and displays telepathic and limited psychic powers. She has a pet black panther named Kisa. Some episodes imply a romantic relationship between her and Rick Gordon.

*Dynak X is the central computer based in the Defenders' Headquarters, formerly Flash's wife and Rick's mother (though she is never referred to by name, it is presumed that she is Flash's longtime love interest Dale Arden). In the first episode, Ming the Merciless kidnaps and attempts to brainwash her to reveal where Flash Gordon is hiding, but the enormous physical and mental anguish ends up killing her. Before she dies, however, her "essence" is saved in a crystal that is eventually used to power the Defenders' computer.

===Antagonists===
*Ming the Merciless has two children Prince Krotan and Princess Aura and is bent on world domination and operates from Ice Station Earth, his hideout located in the Arctic. This version is made more grotesque in appearance than his traditional Asian appearance to avoid racial stereotyping, a similar treatment would be used on The Mandarin in the ''Iron Man'' animated series and on Dr. No in ''James Bond Jr.''; all three characters were given green skin and pointed ears.

*Octon is a metallic octopus like machine which advises Ming the Merciless on how to conquer the Earth or defeat Flash Gordon and Co. The name is taken from Octon, the leader of the mysterious crime syndicate ''8'' in the Mandrake the Magician comic strip.

*Garax is the leader of Ming's soldiers, the Ice warriors

*Mongor is a giant serpent-like pet of Ming the Merciless.

*Kurt Walker, under his alias "N'Dama, the Weather Demon", is the older brother of the Phantom. Kurt is a character specifically created for the series, and has never appeared in a Phantom comic book or comic strip story. Indeed, in the Phantom legend, the firstborn son is in the Walker family is always named "Kit" and becomes the Phantom. However Kurt does appear in [[Defenders of the Earth 3|issue #3]] of the [[Marvel Comics]] [[Defenders of the Earth (comics)|Defenders of the Earth mini-series]].

*[[The Sky Band]] is one of the Phantom's oldest foes. In the series, they are space-pirates, while in the comic strips, they are sky-pirates.

==Other media==
In addition to the [[Defenders of the Earth (comics)|four-issue Marvel Comics miniseries]], there have been books including ''[[The Creation of Monitor (novel)|The Creation of Monitor]]'', ''[[A House Divided (novel)|A House Divided]]'', ''[[The Sun-Stealers]]'' and ''[[Computer Checkmate]]''.

A line of action figures produced by Galoob included Flash Gordon, Mandrake, Lothar, the Phantom, Ming and Garax.

A PC [[Defenders of the Earth (video game)|video game]] was also made. It featured the various heroes from the series on a quest to defeat Ming.

As a marketing ploy, the [[Sunday stories|Sunday strips]] of Flash Gordon, The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician all mentioned the Defenders of the Earth on the strip of [[The Escaped Convicts|September 28, 1986]]. This is the only appearance of the Phantom and Mandrake in the Flash Gordon newspaper strip, as well as the only appearance of Flash Gordon in the Phantom and Mandrake newspaper strips. Since the Defenders of the Earth storyline was out of continuity for all three newspaper strips, this sequence was shown as an alternate reality.

In 2024, [[Mad Cave Studios]] republished the Marvel miniseries in a [[Defenders of the Earth Paperback (Mad Cave Studios)|trade paperback]] and started a new series.

==Trivia==
*Rick Gordon was initially intended to be Kit Walker, the son of the Phantom.
*Jedda Walker was initially intended to be Jedda Gordon, daughter of Flash Gordon.
*A parody, having the same name, is made up of comic strip characters Rex Morgan, Mary Worth, Garfield, and Mark Trail.

==Other media==
In addition to the [[Defenders of the Earth (comics)|four-issue Marvel Comics miniseries]], there have been books including ''[[The Creation of Monitor (novel)|The Creation of Monitor]]'', ''[[A House Divided (novel)|A House Divided]]'', ''[[The Sun-Stealers]]'' and ''[[Computer Checkmate]]''.

A line of action figures produced by Galoob included Flash Gordon, Mandrake, Lothar, the Phantom, Ming and Garax.

A PC [[Defenders of the Earth (video game)|video game]] was also made. It featured the various heroes from the series on a quest to defeat Ming.

As a marketing ploy, the [[Sunday stories|Sunday strips]] of Flash Gordon, The Phantom and Mandrake the Magician all mentioned the Defenders of the Earth on the strip of [[The Escaped Convicts|September 28, 1986]]. This is the only appearance of the Phantom and Mandrake in the Flash Gordon newspaper strip, as well as the only appearance of Flash Gordon in the Phantom and Mandrake newspaper strips. Since the Defenders of the Earth storyline was out of continuity for all three newspaper strips, this sequence was shown as an alternate reality.

In 2024, Mad Cave Studios republished the Marvel miniseries in a [[Defenders of the Earth Paperback (Mad Cave Studios)|trade paperback]] and started a new series.

==Trivia==
*Rick Gordon was initially intended to be Kit Walker, the son of the Phantom.
*Jedda Walker was initially intended to be Jedda Gordon, daughter of Flash Gordon.
*A parody, having the same name, is made up of comic strip characters Rex Morgan, Mary Worth, Garfield, and Mark Trail.
*''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot_Chicken Robot Chicken]'' [[Defenders of the Earth (Robot Chicken parody)|parodied]] the series with Flash, Phantom and Mandrake posing as the neighborhood watch.

==Cast==
* [[The 27th Phantom|The Phantom]] - [[Peter Mark Richman]]

Fantagor

2025-05-26T22:31:53Z

Hyuji:

'''"Fantagor"''' is a Brazilan comic, heavily based on "[[The Phantom]]". It was published by Editora Minuano in cooperation with [[Opera Graphica]], which was the publisher of regular Phantom comics in Brazil at the time. It was written by Pierre Viegas and drawn by Viegas with Antonio Lima, cover art by André Luiz Maria (art) and [[Adriano Lucas]] (colors) in a manga-inspired style.
== History==
Opera Graphica had attempted to get a license for producing original Phantom stories, but was never given approval by [[King Features Syndicate]]. "Fantagor" was a reorganization of the proposed Phantom project of Opera Graphica, the "Fantagor" concept copies many elements of the Phantom strip. The costume is slightly different, but features a mask and a ring. [[The Skull Cave]], [[the Skull Throne]], [[the Oath of the Skull]] and the flag of [[the Singh Brotherhood]] appear exactly as they do in Phantom comics.

'''Walmir Amaral de Oliveira''' (sometimes just '''Walmir Amaral''') was an Brazilian artist.

== Biography ==
At the early age of 17, he began his professional activity for [[RGE|RGE - Rio Gráfica Editora]] where he mainly draw covers, but in the sixties and when unpublished American production was no longer sufficient for the number of Brazilian issues, he even drawn (and apparently wrote) some [[Phantom]] stories.

His other best known work was for the "O Cavaleiro Negro" comics, Brazilian version of the American "Black Rider". He also has drawn "Zorro" for Abril in the seventies.

He sometimes just signed "Walmir" for RGE publications and "Amaral" for [[Saber]] publications.
