"The Iron Python" is the 161st Phantom Sunday story. The story was written by Tony DePaul and drawn by Graham Nolan.
It is a remake of "The Ghost Train", a Team Fantomen story from 1997, also written by DePaul. The reason was that Tony DePaul had been involved in a serious motorcycle accident and reused some of his previous Team Fantomen scripts in order to catch up on deadlines.
