Overview
2009 continued the trend of reducing the number of actual issues published in favor of "double issues". In total, 21 issues were published of which 16 were regular issues of 68 pages and 5 were "double issues" of 132 pages. The double issues were on sale for four weeks, while the other issues were on sale for two weeks.
The first issue of 2009 was released on December 23, 2008. The corresponding issue of Fantomet was released on December 19, 2008, and was numbered as the last issue of 2008 instead. The corresponding Finnish issue was released first of the three, on December 17, 2008, but was still numbered as the first issue of 2009.
For the first time since the co-producing of Fantomen and Fantomet started, the issues somewhat deviated since Fantomet had an extra double issue. Fantomet 15-16 is represented by the Fantomen issues 16 and 17.
