Perhaps the Illustrators magazine may publish an expanded Sergio Toppi issue someday to show more of those masterpieces.  Many thanks for sharing the valuable information and history with your article.  There is much precious knowlege that we only have because of you.

Congratulations on this outstanding article.  I am looking forward to reading it and seeing the marvellous Sergio Toppi artwork.

"The Mermaids of Melo Straits" is absolutely a masterpiece episode.  One of the very best, with every page perfect.

The German Phantom covers have been very good and having this published in the series takes the standard even higher.  Wonderful to see this masterpiece cover and episode reprinted.

Bravo, "The Haunted Castle" was another fantastic classic story remake from Felmang.  Glad to see the original version of the cover.  I know that Lee Falk himself thought very highly of your modern versions of his classic stories.

Such a beautiful, strong and professional splash page from Felmang and Ferri.  Outstanding in every way.

Many thanks for posting these masterpiece Phantom covers.  I am very pleased that we now have a book in Australia of the Triad episodes, including the great new one.

A truly magnificent Phantom cover.  Many thanks for sharing this masterpiece.

Great panels!  It's fantastic to see these characters all together in a quality episode.  This might be one of the only times Flash Gordon and Rip Kirby have appeared together.

Bravo!  Thank you for sharing this brilliant Averardo Ciriello original film poster art.  It is wonderful that this rare piece has survived. 

This is an excellent version of Tarzan.  I wish we could have had new adventures in this style.

We are very lucky that you have still been able to create masterpiece Phantom episodes to this day.  As Lee Falk himself wrote in 1995, the artwork is "wonderful"!

This is a truly stunning page in a masterpiece story.  It is no wonder that Lee Falk himself wrote that he was "so pleased" with the artwork on these incredible reinterpretations by Felmang and Ferri.

Thank you for sharing these THUNDERBIRDS pages, as drawn by one of the greatest Italian Comic artists.  They look great!  The information on Frank Bellamy is also fascinating.  He is definitely one of the greatest British Comic artists and there are some great scans of original pages on ComicArtFans.

Bravo, it is fantastic to see this rare artwork of Lady Penelope.  The pages are very stylish and look fantastic!  The information on Frank Langford is also very interesting.   I have read that John M. Burns also drew some of the Lady Penelope artwork.

Many thanks for sharing these beautiful TEX pages.  A truly outstanding episode!

The Phantom covers by Germano Ferri for Fratelli Spada are masterpieces, and this is a wonderful example.  Along with the cover of Super Albo 29, it is perfect for the great Lee Falk and Ray Moore story of "The Phantom's Treasure".  Many thanks for sharing this, the Ferri covers are my absolute favourite.

Thank you for sharing this very nice Mario Pedrazzi cover.  Is the original drawing very large?

I have only one cover by Pedrazzi, for Avventure Americane Nuova Serie – L'Uomo Mascherato 17.  The dimensions are bigger than many other Fratelli Spada covers I have seen.

These Capitan Walter covers are all very nice.  Was the logo painted directly onto the art?

Very nice to see the original artwork of a Mario Pedrazzi episode.  It appears that this is from L'Uomo Mascherato #30 in 1967.  A very good period for Fratelli Spada Phantom stories.

That is unfortunate.  The original artworks in your galleries are some of the very greatest on ComicArtFans!  I do hope that more people will visit it, and also discover recently published masterpieces like the "Il veleno della zingara" episode in Maxi Tex

Many thanks, we are very lucky today to have improved printing on comics.  Also lucky that we can easily discover great artists we were not aware of and view scans of their beautiful original artwork!

Thank you for sharing these Capitan Walter cover artworks.  I was not aware of them previously - they are very good!  It is great to see an image of the original art as it is much clearer than the printed versions.

A perfect splash page!  In Australia the artwork was also used as a cover.

This is definitely one of the most beautiful opening pages of a Phantom episode.

I love to see characters based on the great film stars in a comic story.  Gary Cooper makes an excellent Tex.

Thank you for sharing these images of Alithia.  She is an wonderful character drawn with true beauty.  Bravo!  The "Il veleno della zingara" episode of TEX is a masterpiece.

A very nice Agent X9 strip from Bob Lubbers.  He did a good job with the character directly before Archie Goodwin and Al Williamson.  I believe there is an X9 magazine in Scandinavia that has reprinted the Bob Lubbers stories, and also new stories drawn by the Australian artist John Dixon.

Wonderful!  I will need to buy a copy of this special TEX issue.

Another fantastic daily strip from the master Bob Lubbers!  And thank you for sharing again the excellent photo of Bob and Felmang - two wonderful artists.

Thank you for sharing this Long Sam strip, it is a beautiful example of Bob Lubbers' artwork.  I wonder if United Features received many letters in response to the request in the last panel!

Fantastic to see the original artwork for this cover.  The inside story by Felmang, "Racing the Devil" was reprinted recently in the Australian Phantom's World Special No. 5

That is wonderful to hear - I will have to look out for his TEX episodes along with Zip Nolan and other stories.

Which publisher requested this Phantom and Mandrake cover?  Thank you for sharing this version, it is a very nice piece from Usam.  Only a shame that a completed cover was not published!

I was not previously very familiar with Roberto Diso, so I have looked him up after your mention here.  Thank you for letting me know about this excellent artist - his work is fantastic!

Very nice!  I believe at least one of the Santo D'Amico L'Uomo Mascherato stories were also reprinted in the United States and later Thailand, Mexico and Germany.

Thank you for sharing a scan of the original artwork for this cover.  This has been one of my favourite Mario Pedrazzi covers for some time, so it is wonderful to see the ink lines.

Wow!  Another excellent Ferri cover.  I believe that the story inside was a reprint from two years earlier, but I am glad that a Ferri cover was commissioned for this edition!  It is a pleasure to see such great artwork on display.

Thank you for posting the magnificent L'Uomo Mascherato #59 cover original.  All of Ferri's covers are wonderful, and his Fratelli Spada editions from the late 1960s are some of my favourites.  I hope the original cover for issue #51 turns up again some day!  The Zodiac Gang story issues all have fantastic Ferri covers and stories.

There is a book titled "The Phantom: the Art of the Ghost Who Walks", which is scheduled to be published by Hermes Press in the United States.  It is advertised as an art book that will feature "original artwork, specialty pieces, and unpublished artwork".  I don't think it is released yet - current dates I can find are either December 2018 or July 2019.  It is compiled by Daniel Herman, who produces the hardcover Daily and Sunday reprints of The Phantom.  It is mentioned that the book will contain artwork from artists in Australia, Italy, and Scandinavia, so I very much hope that you are featured there.

Another brilliant pencil page from a true classic Phantom story.  This page is not only a masterpiece in drawing, but also tells the story very effectively.  Many thanks for sharing!

Thank you, Rob.  I also often admire your Us Fellers page on CAF (and of much of your other artwork in your galleries).  I'm hoping to put a lot more comic art scans online in the coming months, unfortunately no other Bancks pieces at this stage.

Very wonderful to see the pencil version of this page, which was definitely one of the greatest Team Fantomen stories.  Hopefully there will be more pencil masterpieces to come in this gallery!
