Just a Phan with a ridiculously large collection of Frew Phantom comics.

Image is of the Undertaker wrestling meme. He lurks in the background while a happy, seemingly oblivious wrestler stands in front of him. Text over the smiling guy reads "me after finally catching up on all my Phantom comics". Text over the Undertaker reads "Issue No 2025".
Photo shows a handful of Frew Phantom comics from the 600s and 700s. All bagged and boarded.
Photo shows the author holding up a paperback copy of Adventures with the Purple Guy: Reviews of Phantom Comics Released in Australian Volume One by Alyce Caswell.
Photo is of page 49 from the September 1, 1936 issue of The Australian Woman's Mirror. It was taken from the Trove archive. It shows the beginning of a Phantom adventure and notably has been edited to say it's set in Sydney Harbour.
Photo shows FrewPhantomPhan's desk. It has a purple backlit keyboard, a mouse, a transparent PC tower which is lit up purple, and a thick bound document (AKA the review book draft #2). A hand is opening the book (to obscure the author's name, I suppose, but that won't be a secret by 2026!)
Photo shows issue No 1697 of The Phantom, as published by Frew Publications. It rests in top of a box containing approx 150 comics.

Text reads: In the not too distant future, some lucky Frew publisher will be putting the finishing touches to the magic 2,000th issue! That's for the future! Right now, have to concentrate on the 2011-2012 scenario!

The issue is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Phantom being published by Frew and has a predominantly purple cover, showing the Phantom standing with his legs spread and pistols ready in his hands, as though he is squaring off against the reader.
