Yet another year with Covid-19 has left the Scandinavian Chapter without our usual sources of income. No meetings and no fairs equals zero income for us. So if you are a Phan of the Phantom and like the service we provide to you and fellow Phans, through this PhantomWiki we therefore, ask you to donate to the cost of running it. |

Behind the scenes
- Most of the plot set in the past is explicitly stated to happen in 1652.
- When the story was published in Sweden, it was edited so the story was about the 15th Phantom instead of the 5th Phantom, to be in line with the previously published edit of the story "Captain Amazon - Pirate Queen". This edit was later used in Norway as well.
