VOLUMES XXII , XXIII

the official newsletter of

THE PHANTOM CLUB

The Phantom Club, as it was originally called, was established in 1981 by John Henderson and his friends, who believed it was about time that Phantom people had their own special club. The appearance of Phantom Club newsletters on the back cover of Frew Phantom comics was a regular event throughout the 1980s. During this period, the Club was extremely active and promoted the Phantom on radio, TV, newspapers, and magazines. Much of the public awareness of The Phantom that currently exists in Australia, probably owes to the activities of The Phantom Club during those years.

In past times of activity, The Independent Phantom Club of Australia provided lots of interesting Phantom facts and fiction via the quarterly club publication, Jungle Beat (41 issues published so far), and still offers a wide range of Phantom products. A special service to buy, sell or swap Phantom comics is available to members. The Phantom Club operates with a system of ranks similar to The Phantom's own Jungle Patrol. In this way the higher ranking Members help run the Club in their own areas under the supervision and guidance of Headquarters. All new Members start with the rank of Patrolman in The Club, and thereafter gain promotion based upon seniority and performance. New Members receive a Membership Kit consisting of a Certificate of Membership, Identification Card, Club Member sticker, a copy of the latest Jungle Beat newsletter
