2020 (English)In: PHANTOM COMICS AND THE NEW LEFT: A SOCIALIST SUPERHERO / [ed] Aman, R, PALGRAVE , 2020, p. 125-132Chapter in book (Other academic)
Abstract [en]

This concluding part of the book aims to determine how, when and in what ways the Phantom has been furnished with values perceived to reverberate with the local readership in Sweden which likely explains the characters unrivalled popularity in Scandinavia. This final part of the analysis also connects back to the introductory chapter's discussion on the New Left and its impact on politics and culture in order to grasp influences to the Phantom's new political leanings. To close off, the chapter addresses how the 1980s, in a political climate dominated by neoliberal demands for deregulations and privatizations, was the start for a continuous decline in sales for the Phantom. When the winds from the left calmed down even the Phantom's popularity lost its's force.
