Notes
Frew Publications reprinted most Phantom stories in a two to three year cycle.
Replica editions of the earliest issues are included in special issues on an annual basis as a bonus. The replicas are listed here as variants of the early issues.
Issue #330 was not published. from 1966. The artwork was irretrievably damaged prior to printing and the following issue (#331) was brought forward to fill the gap. However, due to an oversight, the issue numbering was not updated, leaving a gap (although there was no break in publication).
