Behind the scenes

When the story was published in Sweden, it was edited so the story was about the 15th Phantom instead of the 5th Phantom. Consequently, a brief mention in the beginning of the story about the 15th Phantom marrying an opera singer was changed to be about the 5th Phantom instead. Several other changes were made in the beginning of the story regarding past Phantoms and their wives. This edit was later used in Norway, Finland and Denmark as well.
