För ett par år sedan skrev jag en bok, När Fantomen blev svensk, som skildare den vandrande vålnadens vänstersväng under 70-talet. Nu har alla äventyr som analyserades i boken samlats i en lyxig inbunden bok. Fick också äran att bidra med en text till samlingen.

A few years ago, I wrote a book called När Fantomen blir svensk that looks into how the Phantom became an avatar for leftist politics during the 70s when produced out of Stockholm. Now, all the episodes discussed in the book are collected in a new anthology. I also got to contribute a text for it.
