The Phantom Viking from Lion & Jet - Compiled and edited by H. C.


The Phantom Viking is a British comic character, appearing in strips published
 by Fleetway Publications. The character's alter-ego was weak-willed school 
teacher Olaf Larsen, who gained the ability to turn into the Phantom Viking 
when he dons a Norse helmet. The character first appeared in the debut 
issue of the short-lived boys' anthology title The Champion on 26 February 1966, 
and continued in Lion when it was merged with Champion a short while later.

Publishing history
The Champion was even less successful than Hurricane, only lasting 15 issues - the
 shortest run of any of the company's weeklies up to that point - before being 
merged into the established Lion, with Nevio Zeccara taking over on art duties 
shortly afterwards.
 The strip would run in the renamed Lion and Champion until 3 August 1968.
 Due to Fleetway's policy of continuing to issue annuals for cancelled titles 
(in order to have as many books as possible on shelves for the lucrative 
Christmas market), parallel to the Lion run further adventures 
(both in picture strip and text stories) appeared in the two Champion Annuals
 issued, and then transferred to the Lion Annual until the 1970 edition, 
despite having finished in the weekly. The character would then make one
 final outing in the 1973 Jet Annual.

Since 2018 the rights to the Fleetway-originated contents
 of The Champion and Lion,  including the Phantom Viking
have been owned by Rebellion Developments.

Publication date: 26 February 1966 – 3 August 1968
