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
If you just wish to donate you can go directly here Donationpage

Formatting guide

Text formatting is used to help distinguish between various types of articles:

Examples: The Phantom is a character in the comic strip "The Phantom", which has been reprinted in the comic book The Phantom.

Image guide

The purpose of cover scans and story panels are only to make the issues/stories easy to identify. Longer panel sequences from stories should be avoided, aswell as high resolution cover scans.

Longer articles may warrant more images, but at least one image per article is recommended. When placed in articles, images should be sized at approximately 200px for template pictures and 250px for general article images.
