Hans Lindahl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Lindahl is a Swedish comic book artist, best known for his work on the Lee Falk created The Phantom. His work on the Phantom have been published in countries like Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, England, Australia and Brazil.
Lindahl started out as a Phantom artist in 1982, with a story called "The Zombie League". His filmatic, detailed style of drawing immediately grew popular with readers, and today, he is probably the most popular artist drawing for the Swedish Phantom comic (called "Fantomen" in Swedish"). Hans, or "Hasse"/"Hazze", as fans have nicknamed him, is known for being very methodic in his work, and often uses up to 10 weeks to finish the artwork for a story.
Hans also paints covers for the magazines, many of which have won the readers' award for Best Cover of the Year.
In 1998, Hans also started to write Phantom stories. He is responsible for introducing several new, important villains to the Phantom mythos, like "The Black Carnation".
