The O Fantasma Coleção de Pôsteres Comemorativos (which translates to The Phantom Commemorative Poster Collection) poster magazine was released by Mythos Editora in July 2026. The magazine collects posters all featuring the Phantom, released as a special collectible to commemorate the Phantoms 90-year Anniversary of his first appearance in US newspapers in 1936. The poster magazine 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.
O Fantasma Coleção de Pôsteres Comemorativos poster magazine consists of 32 full color pages pages, which contain 30 posters that showcase images of the Phantom.
The cover image for Mythos Editora’s Coleção de Pôsteres Comemorativos Volume 1 features a striking, multi-layered tribute to the comic book icon for his 90th anniversary. Set against a dense, earthy jungle backdrop, the upper portion reveals a classic, vintage-style illustration of the Phantom in his signature purple suit, staring forward with a stoic, masked expression. Contrasting this retro art style, the bottom foreground depicts a highly detailed, modern, and realistic painting with the Phantom’s iconic skull-buckled leather belt displayed. 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.
