This podcast includes recordings from the Australian Phantom
weekend, including the video from Lauren Marshall, who
spoke beautifully at the 2025 LFMBEC dinner. Billy Zane
completed many Q&As over the two weeks he was in Australia.
He did Q&As at Sydney and Perth Supanova as well as other
events at theaters located in Sydney and Melbourne in between the
two weekends. Thanks must go to those fans who helped us with
these recordings; unfortunately, we at Chronicle Chamber were
unable to attend.
Please note, these recordings were made onsite on location, so
the quality in spots is questionable. Please bear with it, as the
content is great.
As you will find out when you listen to and/or watch this
podcast, Lauren has an amazing story, and Billy Zane does
indeed have a soft spot for the Phantom. It is almost like every
second answer he gave to a question came back to the Phantom
somehow. In the Perth Q&A at Supanova, he talked about how he
would love to complete a passing of the Phantom mantle to the
next actor in a TV show or movie when it happens. We would also
like to see that. You?
If you know of other Phantom creators attending events around the
world, please also contact us. We would love to promote these
events on our platforms. If you would like to help us promote
Phantom-related guests at conventions and events, please contact
us.
We love your comments and feedback from the Phantom phans from
around the world. You can either email us, leave your comments at
our YouTube Channel, and leave them at our social media platforms
on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram.

Stephen East, Dan Fraser and Jermayn Parker
meet and chat with Daniel Nguyen, the director over at
Saturday Morning Cards (SMC). SMC has released a Phantom Designer
Art Card set, with preorders being shipped at the end of July
2025. During this podcast, Daniel shows us the cards and explains
the collector card concept, which may be foreign for some
phans.
Daniel also shows us every card in the set from the different
finishes, including the black 1/1 and some of the sketches. We
would recommend everyone watch this on YouTube so you can ensure
you see the different cards in this Phantom set but also some
other great examples of designer art cards.
Daniel talks about the endless possibilities of possible new
Phantom products, including a prototype for an exclusive limited
edition card that may be released. All these possibilities will
depend on if the cards sell.
If you would like to order your set, you can via the Saturday
Morning Cards website. At this stage the website does not
have the function to ship outside North America, but you can
email them for a shipping quote. However, we can announce that
there is now an Australian / New Zealand distributor who will be
taking orders—you can contact them at
SaturdayMorningCardsAUS@gmail.com .
You can follow Daniel at his Instagram or for more Saturday
Morning Cards exclusives and updates, you can follow them at
their Instagram.

Jermayn Parker and Stephen East chat with Swedish
writer Magnus Carling. This is a fascinating chat with a
new comer to the Phantom universe who has two story credits to
his name. We learn about his jounery from a Fantomen reader as a
kid who grew up in the 1980's to someone who gets to live most
phans dreams of creating their own Phantom stories.
You can follow Magnus Carling at his Instagram or
Facebook, or look at his work on his website which includes links
to his novels and books that you can purchase which includes
several being translated into multiple languages including
English.
Some of the topics we touch upon in this podcast are his
mentorship with popular Fantomen creator Dai Darell aka
Diane Alfredhsson / Karlstrom. How the real life
world problems of an off shore drill rig being hacked inspired
one of his stories, his ways of solving a decreasing page count
to tell a comic story plus much more.
