This event was held on Saturday 4 November 2023 (New York time) with a dozen phans interacting with the three artists and asking various questions while they watched them draw. The bonus was that everyone who brought a ticket went into the draw to win one of the three pieces. All funds from the tickets were raised for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Jimmy Fund. Together we raised over $500au which will see cancer suffers life a little more comfortable. If you would like to see another studio session with different artists around the world, please contact us. We recommend you watch this podcast on YouTube as you will get to see them draw while they talk. If you have your own questions we did not ask, please send them to our email address chroniclechamber@gmail.com or chat with us by X-Band: The Phantom Podcast

#264 - Our Initial Thoughts on the Moonstone News: No your eyes do not deceive you - It is a shorter podcast than most. Jermayn Parker and Dan Fraser join to quickly discuss the news about Moonstone publishing new Phantom comics from the first half of 2024. You can read our initial report here. Like you, we have questions, heaps of questions. So we go over our own questions plus recap what we do know. We go over our initial responses plus why this is important news. We discuss the state of new Phantom stories release from USA since Moonstone lost the license 10 years ago and how it all coincides with the TV show in development, the new video game and how the NECA figurines was popular with high in demand sales. What we do know about the new series is: The stories will be serialised - think the KGB Noir issues and or what Frew release. Each story will be around 50 pages (give or take) and the comics themselves will be around 50 pages (give or take).Will feature several stories includin by X-Band: The Phantom Podcast

#262 - Happy Frewnersary! Looking at Peter Chapman: Jermayn Parker and Dan Fraser are joined by two guests as we look at one of the unsung heroes of Frew Publications in Peter Champan. The two guests who join us are Jeremy MachPerson and Daniel Best two budding detectives in realm of Australian comics. In this podcast you will learn all about Peter Chapman. Did you also know that he created over 400 comics and created artwork from the late 1940's all the way until the 2000's? That is nearly 60 years of professional work behind him. No wonder many see him as the grandfather of the comics scene in Australia. In this podcast you will learn about his process of creating a comic including creating the comic (cover, script and art) inside a week. How to spot which Phantom cover he drew including the fact that he drew the first 7x Giant Size issues from the 1950's. For more information and for those who prefer to read, you may find this article written by Kevin Patrick useful by X-Band: The Phantom Podcast

#261 - Happy Frewnersary! Looking At 75 Years of Frew: Jermayn Parker and Dan Fraser are joined by Kevin Patrick as they go over the 75 years of Frew. It is a fascinating chat and we guarantee that you will learn something new! Kevin Patrick is a great researcher and he has dug up a lot of information for us like stories about Ron Forsyth, Lawford Richardson, Jack Eisen and Peter Watson the original creators of Frew. We learn about one important person who to most has been forgotten about is Sylvia Eisen and we explore her importance to Frew history and the family connections between her and Yaffa Syndicate. The significance of this connection continues all through out until the 1980's including how they were key in helping the Team Fantomen stories become apart of the Frew publishing schedule. Another great story you will learn about is how Frew Publications almost lost the license in the late 1980's and how it took a last minute stand to ensure they continued the comic.

#260 - Frew 75th Anniversary Comic Review: Jermayn Parker and Dan Fraser do their best (& fail) to review this 180 page full colour Frew special comic inside an hour. They go down various rabbit holes and get caught up loving this comic which we both label is a hands down winner of the best Frew comic of the year and likely all time. They discuss the overall package of the comic with the paper quality, the cover, the historic article written by Kevin Patrick and each story in full detail - the writing, the drawings and even the colouring and how it presented on the paper. This review will contain spoilers. You can buy your copy at the Frew website.

#258 - With Dr Antonio DiDio: Our special guest may be our most educated and most professional guest ever. Duncan Munro and Jermayn Parker do their best to try and contain this larger than life Phantom personality. He is a practicing clinician with over 30 years experience, combined with ongoing service through several significant Federal and State medical policy roles providing outcomes to improve the well being of Australians. Was the Chairperson for the International Health Assessment Panel under Medevac Legislation 2019 assessing claims of refugees from Manus Island and Nauru. All that is very impressive but perhaps his most important role is to be the comedy relief for the LFMBEC dinners. Along with learning all about Antonio DiDio we talk a lot about past Lee Falk Bangalla Members Explorers Club dinners and some of the guests including Jim Russell, Doc Neeson, Rod Cavalier, Kerry Chikarovski, Walter Simonson, Ian Sharpe, Greg Florimo and many more.

#256 - Pitching a Phantom TV Series: We are getting excited about the confirmation on the official KFS Phantom page that a new TV series is in development. Obviously with the very small notice given we don’t know much at all, but that’s not going to stop us speculating wildly! For big news like this, we’ve got Chronicle Chamber members from all over the world to share in the excitement with Mikael Lyck, Ankit Mitra and Duncan Munro joining Dan Fraser and Jermayn Parker. Given we know next to nothing (read “absolutely nothing”) about what this series is actually going to look like, we decided to make out like this podcast as a pitch meeting with KFS where each of us pitch our concept to the showrunners, hoping to get greenlit for our idea to make the series. The five elevator pitches are: A Defenders reboot, centred around a near-future Kit Walker NYPD who grows into his Phantom legacy as a team develops to battle a new-age Ming.A two-speed narrative, with a season-long Presidential cou by X-Band: The Phantom Podcast

#255 - Sydney 2023 Wrapup (Supanova Panel, LFMBEC Speech & More): Did you go to Sydnova 2023? If not, we have you covered. Included in this podcast we have a recording of the Supanova Phantom panel with Alex Trpcevski, Lauren Marshall and Matt Kyme plus Alex Trpcevski's LFMBEC speech. Jermayn Parker also gives his review of the weekend as he discusses the phan catch ups, the LFMBEC dinner, the Frew booth and Supanova in general. The two recordings were recorded on a phone and in a non controlled environment, so the sound may not be the best. We did record the LFMBEC auction but because of the content, it was not included. Please note, we did get in trouble for this recording of the Supanova Phantom panel so there is a small chance that we will be requested to take it down. The Supanova panel starts at the 2 Minute 30 seconds mark and the LFMBEC dinner speech starts at the 46 Minute mark. The review of the whole weekend starts at the 54 Minute mark.
