In Australia, the Australian Woman's Mirror began publishing the strip in 1936 and Frew Publications has published a fortnightly Phantom comic book since 1948, celebrating 60 years of uninterrupted publication in September 2008.[44] Although Frew's comic book primarily contains reprints from the newspaper strips, Fantomen (translated into English) and other Phantom comic books, it has occasionally included original stories drawn by Australian artists such as Keith Chatto. The editor-in-chief was Jim Shepherd until his death. Frew's The Phantom is the longest-running comic-book series with the character in the world,[45] and Australia's bestselling comic book.[46][47][48] Frew Phantom comics appear in a number of Sydney Royal Easter Show, Royal Adelaide Show, Melbourne Show and Perth Royal Show showbags.[49]

King Features sold The Phantom to a number of New Zealand newspapers, included The New Zealand Herald. The Phantom also appeared in a successful comic from the Wellington-based Feature Publications during the 1950s.[50] The Frew comics are also available in New Zealand.


In India, The Phantom first appeared in The Illustrated Weekly of India in the 1950s. In 1964, the Indian publisher Indrajal Comics began publishing a Phantom comic book in English.[51][52] Later Indrajal would also publish The Phantom in several Indian languages.[51] Over the years, other Indian publishers have printed Phantom comic books, the most prominent being Diamond Comics, Euro Books (formerly Egmont Imagination India), and Rani Comics.[53] The Telugu regional daily Eenadu published translated versions of Phantom comics during the early days of its Sunday supplements. Phantom is also published in Bengali and Hindi language in local newspapers. In Hindi it is published by Indrajal comics as character name Vanbhairav. They have also published it in Bengali as character name, Betal.


In the early 1990s, Regal Publishers from Kerala started publishing Phantom comics in Malayalam Language. After a gap, Regal Publishers have again started publishing Phantom comics in Malayalam in 2019. From August 2020 onwards Regal Publishers have started publishing Phantom comics in English.


From 2021 Shakti Comics started publishing the phantom along with Mandrake & Flash Gorden in English as well as Hindi & Bengali languages. Shakti Comics is the only publisher after Indrajal to publish phantom comics in Hindi and bengali on monthly basis.


Leading Bengali publishing house, Anandabazar Patrika, had published the comics in Bengali, under the character name, Aranyadeb (the god of the jungle), in their elite magazine, Desh, later in their children's periodical, Anandamela, and continue to publish the strips in their Bengali newspaper, Anandabazar Patrika.Gujarathi newspaper Mumbai Samachar also used to print the Phantom comics in their Sunday supplement named Utsav.


The entire run of the Phantom newspaper strip was reprinted in Australia by Frew Publications, and edited versions of most stories have been published in the Scandinavian Phantom comics. In the United States, the following Phantom stories (written by Lee Falk) have been reprinted by Nostalgia Press (NP), Pacific Comics Club (PCC) or Comics Revue (CR):


During World War II, soldiers received care packages containing comics. The soldiers stationed in Papua New Guinea shared these comics, and the Phantom became extremely popular among the tribes. The Papuan people who could read English would read the stories and share the images with others (by the 1970s they were available in Pidgin, Tok Pisin). The character's image is often painted on ceremonial shields or alongside other tribal art.[64] This is sometimes referred to as "tribal pop art."[65]


Yes, they were really my only exposure as a child to foreign comics, like Phantom and Mandrake. I read Phantom in Bengali. The strip was syndicated in a Bengali newspaper my grandmother subscribed to. He was called Aranya Deb, meaning Lord of the Jungle. I also remember Fauladi Singh from Diamond Comics. But ACK was the main comic in my childhood. I came across Tintin and Asterix much later, when I was in twelve or thirteen. I certainly learned a lot of geography through Tintin.


I went to France in 2003. I had a fellowship for comics, to learn French bande dessinée. The fellowship was from the French government, a residency for three or four months. I got to meet comics makers and learn from them. It was a very open kind of thing.


One of the first books I wanted to do after college and after my first comics dream evaporated was a book about Partition. When I started working on it, I realized how small my voice could be against the big canvas of history.


Yes, but we were often discouraged to read Amar Chitra Katha, because the educational system said that reading comics killed good reading habits. If you were caught reading Amar Chitra Katha, the comics would be taken away and your parents would be called in the next day. So you had to read them hidden under your desk.


For my work, there is a certain stillness in how I conceive the pages. For me the interest is in capturing the details, not in movement. I end up saying a lot in terms of text. In traditional comics, movement continues to happen between point A and point B, with so little said. I quite envy that. I guess I have a lot to say word-wise. In Delhi Calm I did have many pages in which I wanted to make a comment visually, a page with no text. Conventional comics? Maybe I would have to learn how to draw them. Playing with the language of the writing is another layer for me. Sometimes I like making the language sound really archaic.


No, just some of them. IPPF put a comic into their newsletter. Population Council did a whole series of comics about HIV. Oxfam did a series of comics over a long period. They would be either freely distributed or used as training materials by health workers.


That was about domestic violence. It was an icebreaker, a discussion-opener. It was used through a facilitator. She would read out the text, show the pictures, and ask questions based on that story, and the discussion would begin from there. What was surprising for us is that those comics took on a life of their own. People started doing role-play and developing skits of their own around the two characters in the comics. One episode would be based on the comics we did, and then they would do a second or third episode of their own. They made kites, T-shirts, and posters based on those characters. It was great. They put up the posters in the community. Whenever they would go for a rally, they would wear the T-shirts.


In some cases. For example, for one of the pieces on domestic violence for the Population Council, we tied up with a street theater group, they gave us feedback and the next round of comics were largely based on their stories. They worked on our stories, developing them further, and then we adapted their stories back into comics.


Different communities for different projects. The street theatre group was in Bombay. We have done work with groups in Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, West Bengal, Delhi, Rajasthan. Our comics also inspired many kids at the local level to try making their own comics. 2ff7e9595c
