The following information is based on the Norwegian Fantomet magazine, published fortnightly by Egmont Scandinavia. Egmont also publish Fantomen in Sweden with a very similar format (a few days prior to the Norwegian edition), and Mustanaamio in Finland. The content list in Sweden and Finland differs slightly, eg. Viggo doesn't usually appear in Fantomen, and the 8 pages of Phantom Club are not in Mustanaamio.English translations of The Phantom stories created by Egmont's team of writers and artists are subsequently reprinted by Frew Publications (Australia) and Indian Express Egmont Publications (India).
