#186 - Moonstone & Team Fantomen Writer Ben Raab

We are joined by past Phantom Team Fantomen & Moonstone
writer, Ben Raab who wrote 23 Phantom stories over a
decade between 1999 and 2009.


Some of his stories include the popular "The Spear of Destiny"
saga, "The Hero", "The Invisible Phantom" which won Norwegian
best story in 2001, the first team we see Kit and Heloise as the
joint 22nd Phantom in "The First Assignment" for Team
Fantomen. 


After Egmont he wrote several classic stories for
Moonstone including the first two graphic novels "The
Ghost Killer" and "The Singh Web" which was his adaption of the
1996 movie along with classic stories exploring the mythos of the
Phantom in "Curse of the Phantom", "The Aviatrix" and "Legacy".


Eager phans may know that Ben Raab has been making waves
in Hollywood since with writing credits for "Warehouse 13",
"Flash", "Arrow" and currently "Legacies". So obviously we end
the podcast talking about how he would write a Phantom TV show
series. 


One of the questions we ask is could the Phantom exist being a
hero in Africa in a TV show with a possible white saviour label
being used against him? Ben also tells us how he would write a
Phantom TV show.

we discuss the Phantom. The audio only version is attached if you
