SCCal23.png 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.
Due to the massive amount of pictures in here, the web storage costs us 5 000 SEK per year.

But, we don't like to just ask for your money, we would like to offer a printable custom Fantomen wall calender, with all that you would expect from an calender, including the dates your Fantomen magazine will land in your postbox or the nearest store.

Kindly download it from here, from there you can also donate to this wiki Calendar

Opera Graphica Editora was a Brazilian 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.
