Wow, after reading the P&A before this last one I noticed for the first time that Phantom has green hands! That gives some validity to the theory that they have the same father.

No it doesn't.

You'll see Alien's Father in Volume 3. And we've already seen Phantom's grandfather back in Volume 1. I don't know if I'll bring him back. He will be named in the next volume, though. Just so you know. There'll be a portrait of him in the background of a random episode.

Oh come on, don't underestimate us devout fans. We will certainly spot it even without you bringing our attention to it! (Though it's cool! )

And the plot of this one really seems to culminate

Haven't we also seen Phantom's nephew? (or am I just imagining things )

Yep. Looks like I'll have to make a family reunion episode.

Well, it's Friday... So, before I go to sleep, here's the next episode of Phantom and Alien!



Gosh! What will happen next? Is Alien still alive? What is Death up to? Will we find out?

Check back in the ARCHIVE for possible clues...

This time next week will be the finale. I hope you're all looking forward to it! Just a reminder, though, after episode 100 there will be the special three-part Phanston and Ailsbry: Private Detectives story, followed by three guest comics.

Fun times ahead!

Of course he is! Phantom put a chainsaw through him AND blew him up and he survived.

It's been a long and tiring day of excitement for me and I'm going to have to go to sleep in a few minutes otherwise I'll fall onto my keybg6gybhyv;;'.//...

thanks to Formendacil for the second story! It's cool. It was completely unintentional that there were TWO stories about The Phantom this week. I don't know how it happened...



As Volume 2 wraps up, we head into the scary domain of the set up for the next adventure!



I love obscure references to old episodes. See if you can find out which one...
IN THE... Comic Archive!! Yay!!

Next week sees the start of Phanston and Ailsbry, Private Detectives!!

I hope those guest comics are coming along nicely.

I approve of "Elusive Cure found Hiding in Wine Cellar." Particularly the picture. But I was wondering about my article; was it unworthy of publication? I sent it in at about 9:30 pm UK time on Friday. I hope it was not too late.

Other comments:
Mayonnaise! Hooray! I love Morsul, too bad we can't his tiny legs in this one.

Your article is fine! It's really good, actually. It's just Formy got there before you. Yours will be in next week, though.
