Jermayn Parker is joined by Team Fantomen editors Jacob Habinc and Andreas Eriksson as he asks them all the questions about what they are planning for 2025 which so happens to be their 75th anniversary birthday!We first start off asking about the celebrations of 2025 and what they have planned. They tell us as much as they can and yet still hold back a few surprises which will be dropped as time goes by. If you want some hints, this is the podcast to listen to. Some of the secrets they tell us is that the celebrational issue will be in October 2025 and will feature as a double extended issue. Some of the reprint stories through out the year will be key classic stories that hold a special place in the history of the comic.On top of the birthday celebrations, we also learn the following:Some of the writers writing stories for 2025 will be Andreas Eriksson, Pidde Andersson, David Bishop and John Rassy who is back after a 7 year hiatus. Some of these creators will be writing two part stories.Some of the artists who will be drawing stories for 2025 are phan phav Janusz Ordon, Kasia Nie for her second story and Percy Ochoa who will be drawing his first Team Fantomen story who has previously drawn several Frew stories.The Phantom will be visiting Sweden and Australia.The theme for the hardcover collection will be stories from the 1970's. Can you guess the theme?2025 will see other covers tailored for events like conventions like they did for Uppsala comic convention in 2024.In addition to answering questions about 2025, we took the time to ask other generic editorial questions. For example: What does Jacob Habinc look for in reprinting Frew and or Bastei stories?What are their views on AI and comicsDifferent art styles including Rafael Ruiz' new style.Would they prefer a Phantom movie and or a TV show?How closely do they follow the latest developments from the newspaper stories with Kit in the Himalayas, the updated office in the Commanders office and if past Phantoms need to follow the costume design designed by Jeff Weigel.If they could change one thing about the Phantom or their job with money not being a hinderance, what would it be?We would love your opinions on what we discuss in this podcast.
