I've had an article published in the recent edition of
Giant Size Phantom comic (Number 2), released by
Frew Publications (Australia).
Giant Size Phantom is a showcase-styled magazine, which reprints some of Frew Publications' earlier Australian-drawn comics from the 1940s and 1950s, when Australia's comic-book industry was at its peak of commercial success Australia had a population of just over 9 million people back then, but Australians were reading 60 million comic books annually by 1954. Crikey!My first article for this magazine focuses on The Phantom Ranger, an Australian-drawn cowboy Western comic, which was tremendously popular back in the day.After they'd finished reading the latest issue of
The Phantom Ranger comic book, Aussie kids could deck themselves out from head-to-toe in licensed Phantom Ranger clothing, and tune in to
The Phantom Ranger radio serial, starring the late Australian actor, Charles "Bud" Tingwell.Australian readers can purchase their copies
