The O Fantasma Coleção de Pôsteres Comemorativos Volume 1 (The Phantom Commemorative Poster Collection Volume 1) was produced by Mythos Editora in Brazil in July 2026. The poster set is a special anniversary collectible designed to honor nearly a century of comic book history and deep-rooted influence on generations of global fans, featuring a myriad of artwork found on the front covers of previously published Phantom comic books. The poster set is fully licensed by King Features Syndicate.
Founded in 1996 by Hélcio de Carvalho and Dorival Vitor Lopes, Mythos Editora has established itself as a cornerstone of the Brazilian comic book industry. The publisher gained significant recognition by becoming the primary home for Bonelli Comics in Brazil, taking over the mantle of legendary titles like Tex, Zagor, and Dylan Dog. By focusing on these Italian classics, Mythos cultivated a dedicated fanbase of “Bonellianos,” ensuring that these long-running Western and horror series remained staples on Brazilian newsstands and bookshelves for decades.
Beyond its Italian catalog, Mythos is famously known for its partnership with the British powerhouse 2000 AD. This collaboration brought the gritty, satirical world of Judge Dredd to Brazilian readers in high-quality formats. Additionally, the publisher has a long history of handling major American licenses, including Dark Horse Comics and DC Comics (often via Panini). This diverse portfolio allowed them to publish iconic franchises such as Hellboy, Conan the Barbarian, and various Star Wars titles, positioning Mythos as a versatile curator of both mainstream hits and cult underground favorites.
In recent years, Mythos has successfully transitioned from traditional newsstand “pocket” editions to the “Gold Edition” and hardcover markets. This shift reflects a maturing Brazilian comic scene where collectors prioritize production value and durability. By releasing “Omnibus” style volumes and specialized graphic novels, Mythos has managed to preserve the legacy of older characters while appealing to modern aesthetic standards. Their resilience in a shifting digital landscape proves their deep understanding of the “collector’s soul” in Brazil.
This wrap-around folio-style poster set is produced in full color and measures 31cm x 40cm. Enclosed within the folio are 14 loose posters, each printed on both sides, providing a total of 28 individual images. An additional 2 posters are printed on the inside of the wrap-around cover, bringing the total number of posters available for display to 30.

The cover image is illustrated by Alex Ross features a striking, multi-layered tribute to the comic book icon for his 90th anniversary.

The title “O FANTASMA” is boldly emblazoned across the center, while the top left displays the Mythos logo and the top right showcases the special black, green, and purple logo celebrating “90 Legendary Years” of the Phantom.
