The Phantom Trade Paperback By Mad Cave Studios

Mad Cave Studios, located in the United States, has announced the availability of a Trade Paperback featuring the Phantom for pre-order.

Appearing on the Mad Cave Studios website last month for pre-order was edition number one of their new Phantom comic book series, written by Ray Fawkes and illustrated by Russell Mark Olson (further information found HERE). The inaugural edition is scheduled for release on the 24th of September 2025 and is available for pre-order in both physical and digital formats on the Mad Cave Studios website HERE.

The story kicks off with a violent gang of smugglers disrupting the peace of an idyllic Bandar village. This unforeseen threat shatters the tranquility the Phantom has brought to his jungle home, pushing his extensive skills and network of allies to their limits as he strives to restore order. The series is rich with action, mystery, and a strong focus on justice and honor, everything we expect, and more from a thrilling Phantom adventure.

Appearing on the Mad Cave Studio website is a Trade Paperback that compiles the initiation of the series featured in the standard release of Phantom comic books. This inaugural volume, currently available for pre-order, is described as:

The first collection of the new ongoing series! Critically-acclaimed writer Ray Fawkes and artist Russell Olson refresh a beloved franchise. While fans of the Phantom will love the homages and easter eggs placed throughout the series, it’s a perfect collection for new fans as well, with an accessible, fun adventure story that showcases the Phantom’s awesome athleticism as well as his compassion for animals and for the African community he helps protect.
