The Phantom Will Always Fight For What's Right

A comic book that sees a superhero defending a Pride parade from violent homophobes has stirred anger in Poland.

The Swedish edition of Fantomen, which features long-running superhero the Phantom, came under fire over the controversial cover of its latest issue. 

The comic strip, written by Polish writer Philip Madden, sees the hero attend a Pride event in Poland’s capital, Warsaw.

However the situation grows out of hand when a group of violent homophobes – depicted wearing grey militaristic uniforms and waving Polish flags – threaten the parade.
