A true legendary actor and political activist has passed. One of my favourites. The Sting, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid. The Last Castle. All the President’s men. Spy Game. Brubaker. What a filmography.
Rest in peace, Mr Redford.

So Billy Zane bought a copy of The Phantom #2000 from the #FrewPublications booth last weekend, which had our comic story inside. That’s not bad, right?
Amanda was pleased with receiving a Zane fist bump.

Out across Australia tomorrow 👊🩷 #thephantom #australiancomics #KingFeatures #comics
