New Comics & Changes to Mandrake

Here are the newest issues from Egmont and Moonstone;

Egmont
Fantomen nr. 15/2009


Moonstone
Phantom Generations #9
Phantom Generations #8 - cover added
Phantom Generations #7 - cover added
Phantom: Ghost Who Walks #6 - cover added

I have also removed the Mandrake page and moved all the issues listings from there to the Moonstone page. The reason for this is that there has not been any news, mention or solicitation for any Mandrake publications from Moonstone for a long while and the page was simply collecting dust.. However, if Moonstone or another publisher do release a consistent flow of Mandrake books I'll add the page once more.

Cheers.
