I believe so, looks kinda familiar. He did Phantom published in Nordic countries a long time. There has been some collections of his Phantom in here, like this one: http://blogi.egmontkustannus.fi/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/mustanaamio-spesiaali-kari-lepp%C3%A4nen.jpg but I wish they brought them to U.S. too.
Me, too… If this is the same guy, his Phantom is AMAZING. Reminds me a bit of Alex Raymond…
For many people he is THE Phantom artist, including me.
