Skip to comments
Following up on our report of Peanuts trading cards (scroll to the bottom) comes news of The Phantom trading cards. And like those Peanuts cards with Schulz art The Phantom cards have art by Sunday Phantom artist Jeff Weigel, but in this case it is new art.
From Frew Publications in Australia:
The Phantom Generations Trading Cards
From American Phantom artist, Jeff Weigel, comes a deluxe set of trading cards, showing The Phantom, of that time, in his costume. The character history on the back of the card is based on Lee Falk and Egmont history.
The Chronicle Chamber provides more information:

- Kit jnr (future 22nd)
- Heloise (future 22nd)
- Julie Walker (17th Phantoms twin sister)
- Defenders of the Earth Phantom

These cards will be on showcase at the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) held on Thu, 24 July 2025 – Sun, 27 July 2025 at Saturday Morning Cards booth.
There will be 1000 cards in the set with a mixture of the 9 designs and unique 1/1 sketch cards. SMC has informed us that there will be more sketch cards than any of their previous releases. There is 9x standard card designs with multiple colours, a mixture of transparent, gold, black and purple.
As mentioned prior, these are not a collector trading card set but a single card. A trading card set is a collection of cards with a specific theme that can be collected and / or used for gameplay. We expect this method of collecting to be new for a lot of phans.
