In 1994, the Fantomen magazine was changed in several ways. The so-called "Lubanga period" began, and the magazine was expanded from 68 to 84 pages for a regular issue. To give the readers more Phantom material to read, two new back-up comics featuring the Phantom started."Djungeläventyr" ("Jungle Adventures", first episode published in 1993) was basically regular Phantom stories, only shorter and sometimes with someone other than the Phantom as main character (for example Rex and Devil). Only four "Jungle Adventures" were made: F459D, F464D, F480D, F489D.
The other series was called "Fantomenlegender" ("Phantom Legends"), and was a serial with about 7 pages in each issue. "Phantom Legends" was written by Claes Reimerthi and drawn by Joan Boix (his first encounter with the Phantom). The series was one long, epic storyline called "Mörkrets Hjärta" ("The Heart of Darkness"), and is a sort of sequel to the story "The Fire of Life" (F284). It was divided into seven chapters, which in turn consisted of six to nine episodes. With a total of 352 pages, published over a period of three years, it is certainly the longest Phantom story ever made.
