Phantom biography released in Brazil

Opera Graphica Editora, the Brazilian publisher that has published Phantom comics sporadically since 2001, is going out of business. But not until they have released what is possibly their most ambitious project: a 144-page, giantsized, hardcover "biography" of the Phantom strip!
The book is entitled Fantasma: Biografia Oficial do Primeiro Herói Fantasiado dos Quadrinhos and has been in the works since 2005. It was originally intended for release in 2006, when the Phantom strip celebrated its 70th anniversary, but the project expanded and required more time.
The book is written by Marco Aurélio Lucchetti with assist by Franco de Rosa, and details the history of the Phantom comic strip, interviews with creators (including creators of the almost unknown Brazilian Phantom stories produced in the 1980s), and over 1000 images, including 818 covers of Brazilian Phantom comics!
The book is in the portuguese language, but it would definetely worth checking out for fans that cannot read the actual text. The book can be purchased online here:
