The Fantomen 6oth Anniversary T-Shirt was produced by Semic Press in Sweden in 1996. The t-shirt was produced to mark the Phantoms 60th Anniversary since first appearing in USA newspapers in 1936. The t-shirt is fully licensed by King Features Syndicate.

All Phantom comic books released in Scandinavia in 1996 featured a distinctive logo on their front covers to recognize this significant anniversary. The three series in circulation during that period in the region were Fantomen (published by Semic Press in Sweden), Fantomet (published by Semic AS in Norway), and Mustanaamio (published by Kustannus Oy Semic in Finland).

Throughout the entirety of 1996, this distinctive logo was prominently featured on the front covers of all editions, typically positioned in the upper right-hand corner. A selection of these editions from Sweden, Norway, and Finland are shown below.

The logo features the Phantom seated on his Skull Throne, while being surrounded by two standing fire-lit lamps, with the years ‘1936’ and ‘1996’ inscribed on them. At the base of the logo, a large ’60’ is prominently displayed to commemorate the Phantoms 60th Anniversary.

The Fantomen 60th Anniversary T-Shirt was produced, featuring this distinctive logo. This t-shirt was exclusively available through advertisements placed in Phantom comic books being published in Scandinavia. The cotton t-shirt was offered in a range of sizes, solely in black, with prices differing for subscribers, club members, and the general public. A copy of this advertisement is presented below.

To acquire the Fantomen 60th Anniversary T-Shirt, it was necessary to submit a coupon along with payment to Semic Press, with club members also expected to indicate their club number to qualify for the reduced price. The t-shirt offered is displayed below.

Copyright information and the production year are located on the print, positioned to the left of the letter ‘F’ in ‘Fantomen’.
