“The Secret of Polymos" Despite its obvious quality, “The Secret of Polymos” has remained unpublished by Frew Publications in Australia until now. I hope that any completists in the Phantom collector world will be delighted by this one. Its absence feels less about merit and more about circumstance, as the story fits comfortably alongside other European Phantom tales that have made the Frew catalogue. It represents both a curiosity and a reminder that even after decades of publication, there are still corners of the Phantom’s world left unexplored. “The Secret of Polymos” is one of the most distinctive Phantom stories produced in its era, notable for its willingness to step outside the character’s usual narrative boundaries. Written by Donne Avenell and illustrated by César Spadari, it transports the Ghost Who Walks far from the familiar jungles of Bangalla into a setting steeped in classical atmosphere and ancient legend.
