Phantom Lady What's Your Take?

[The Troll King]

I think PL 16 would be less desirable since PL was not featured on the cover.

 

That's actually one of my favorites of the title. I just haven't found one at the right time yet

I agree that the covers for 17, 18, and 23 are each smoking hot. However, I just picked up a high grade copy of issue #16, and the cover image (although not featuring Phantom Lady) is iconic IMO. That is one sexy image, which rivals issue #18 (although I give 18 a slight edge).

 

I agree that the inner page on Phantom Lady #16 is nice, but it is no where close to as hot as the chosen cover image. My most recent acquisition in pedigree:

PL 16 does not have PL on the cover but for GGA it's hard to beat.

And a lot of early Police Comics.

For a character with such incredible covers, it surprises me how seldom she was utilized on the covers of the books where she was not the primary hero.

 

Is the Quality Police version the same character? I always thought just the name was the same - but I've never seen any of the Quality stories.

 

Yep, same character - she kind of got around. She came out of the Eisner-Iger Studio that created Blackhawk and Doll Man for Quality as well. She started off a lot more tame, but Police Comics #1 is her first appearance. Her early look is below.

 

 

Her Toonopedia entry details the convoluted ownership history of the character.

Her first appearance is right on the cover of Police #1.
