The Phantom - Egmont India (Collection)

 Egmont Imagination India Ltd. (formerly Indian Express Egmont Publication Ltd.), launched a new series (2000-2002) for distribution throughout India. The material came from the Team Fantomen production of Phantom stories. Fantomen editor Ulf Granberg assisted in the selection of stories.

To kick off the series in 2000, a promotional package called Phantom Adventure Kit was produced, that included three comic books (two of which could not be bought elsewhere) and memorabilia.

The first 13 issues were 52 pages in color, with covers from Fantomen and a "Mandrake the Magician" back-up story (edited and colored as when they appeared as back-up stories in Fantomen). The early issues also included "The Phantom Legends", a series of one-page retellings of important parts of the Phantom legend.

From #14 and onwards, the page count was reduced and the page size was increased. The covers were now either locally produced or collages with art taken from the interior stories. This version of the series ended with #21 in 2002.

Atleast twice these were reprinted with different covers. In reprint, only the Phantom stories were printed. In different print the first print story was appeared with same or different number.

Only Followings green coloured the Phantom stories (and all Mandrake) are available so far.
