Who is The Phantom Lady?

Few Golden Age heroines carry the mystique of The Phantom Lady, who burst onto the scene in Police Comics #1 in 1941, courtesy of creator Vern Henkel and the bold stable of Quality Comics. Sharing those early pages with the likes of Plastic Man and Chic Carter, she debuted in genuinely star-studded company at the very dawn of the superhero era. With a publishing history that stretches an remarkable eight-plus decades from 1941 all the way to 2025, she's proven herself one of the most enduring figures the Golden Age ever produced. Collectors take note: her key-issue status makes her debut appearance one worth hunting down.
