Australia's Courier-Mail examines the long, long, long history of comics hero The Phantom.
Pre-dating both the Batman and Superman comic book heroes, The Phantom was the brainchild of Missouri-born writer Lee Falk in 1936, who had already, as a young man conceived of his other great comic character, Mandrake the Magician, two years earlier before coming up with the brilliantly simple idea of having a multi-skilled, physically impressive and well-educated crime fighter living in the mysterious deep woods of a jungle from where he could freely come and go while pursuing justice.

The work of late cartoonist and character designer Alex Toth will be examined in the extras that go along with the upcoming Space Ghost DVD set, Earl Kress reports.

Oasis, The Killers, Razorlite, James Morrison, The Fratellis and Travis are among current artists re-recording songs from the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album. The songs will air on BBC 2 radio on June 2, celebrating the original LP's 40th anniversary, and may crop up as downloads or a CD.
