#288 - Sounds from Norway & Sweden 2024 Conventions

During May 2024 there were a few comic conventions being held in
Norway and Sweden. Thanks to phan Kristian Hellesund who
has helped us with the recordings from the events we can now
present them to you. It is a great opportunity to hear from some
creators from around the world.


During this podcast we will hear from a panel discussion between
Arild Wærness, Cormac Hughes, Knut Robert
Knutsen and Kristian Hellesund. They will talk about
their Phantom contributions including the Lightning Strikes
comics.


The other Phantom artist we hear from are Mike Collins as
he talks about about his history with the character, who he would
like to see drawing the Phantom, his favourite stories, comparing
him to other comic heroes and how to write stories from an
African perspective.

As you would expect, a lot of the panels and discussions were
held in the native spoken language which while are not included
in this podcast will be uploaded on our website and YouTube
Channel. If you do not speak Norwegian and Swedish, YouTube does
allow automatic subtitles so if your nerdy enough, we would
recommend clicking on that button.


We will hear from phan, writer and editor Andreas
Eriksson, fans writers of the Norwegian story that was
originally published in Lightning Strikes Arild Wærness
and Knut Robert Knutsen plus an interview from Kristian
Hellesund with Fantomen writer Sverre Arnes who wrote
20 stories in the 1990's.


A huge thanks goes to Kristian Hellesund for the
recordings and helping us collect these.
