#289 - Our Phantom Big Questions

The team does not get a chance to nerd out too much by discussing the Phantom in finer details. This podcast fixes that with one podcasters wife commenting that this is perhaps our nerdiest conversation ever!

We will discuss two big questions: Is it ethical for the Phantom to have a major treasure room and is the key to the Phantoms future, the digital comic? To join in this discussion we have Seuj Abir from India joining Dan Fraser, Stephen East and Jermayn Parker.

We would love your opinions on what we discuss in this podcast. You can email us at chroniclechamber@gmail.com or chat via our social media profiles with your feedback at Facebook, Twitter and or Instagram. 

For those who have come in late, The Major Treasure Room houses artefacts from around the world throughout history that the Phantom has rescued or has been given to by people he has interacted with. The sole aim is to protect these items from fire, flood and destruction.

Throughout the past 60 odd years when it was first introduced, we have had stories created by from various Newspaper, Team Fantomen, Fratelli Spada and RGE creators. There has been nearly 100 different artefacts shown or have had stories written about them.

When the room was conceived by Lee Falk, the world was crazy coming off the second world war with various looted treasures being found. However is that still the case and should they be returned?

Our second and last Phantom hard question we will discuss in this podcast is the power of the digital comic. We have seen Lightning Strikes announcing their new monthly digital anthology, Comics Kingdom adding more importance with their digital daily comic website and three comic publishers in Frew, Fantomen and Mad Cave Studios releasing digital content.

Is it time for the Phantom to be pushed digitally more? Can the phantom comic survive without a digital presence?
