Fantomen - Den inbundna årgången
Fantomen - Den inbundna årgången (Fantomen - Year's issues in hardcover) was a Swedish series that collected issues of Fantomen as facsimile reprints in hardcover books. Each book included several Fantomen issues, meaning that three to five hardcover books collected one year.
History
The series began in 2002, following Egmont's succesfull facsimile collections of the Swedish "Donald Duck" comic book Kalle Anka & Co. In the first year, only one volume was released, collecting all Fantomen issues originally published in 1950. From 2003 to 2006, three volumes were released per year, and from 2007 four volumes were released each year. Since 2005, a second edition has been printed of some of the books, with a third from 2011 and a fourth from 2017.
Besides the facsimile replicas of the original issues, each book also contained articles about the history of Fantomen and Swedish comic books in general.
The books where sold in book stores and as a book club where they were sent home to members as a subscription.
The series was cancelled in 2024 with issue 1973:2 being the last.
