Dan Fraser, and Jermayn Parker join Janusz
Ordon who is a Polish comics creator who has created Phantom
stories since 2018. In short 6 years he has drawn 20 full length
stories for Fantomen but also Frew. He has also drawn 6x Fantomen
covers at the time of recording.

We start at the beginning which includes how Janusz Ordon
first came to know about the Phantom from the Fantom (TM-Semic)
series published from 1992 to 1993 in his home country. Other
areas we touch upon and discuss are:


His prior relationship with Philip Madden a Fantomen
writer.

The art scene in Poland including Fantomen artist Kasia
Nie who drew her first Fantomen cover and story in 2024.


Janusz Ordon describes his style for the Phantom. How do
you see his work?

His style that works as well in black and white (Frew comic)
and in colour (Fantomen comic). Do you have a preference? 

Talks about his process and how that can change depending on
the style of the script and how inspired he is by it.

What he gets from different writers and editors in terms of
the scripts and references.

How he deals with different scripts and references from the
dozen Phantom writers & editors he has worked with.

Challenges working on scripts.

Playing with the panels to use splash pages when working on
Claes Reimerthi scripts.

His process of using digital and traditional mediums for
sequential (roughs / layouts and final art) and the cover art.

Why Janusz Ordon traditionally paints his Fantomen
covers and will traditionally pencil and ink his next Fantomen
story.

His process of creating a cover for stories he did not draw.
[Editors note: this will surprise you]
