The Phantom Lady story follows her pursuit of criminals who have committed a robbery and murder, involving a chase sequence with a motor scooter and ultimately leading to a police investigation that traces footprints and shoe sizes to identify one of the perpetrators as a woman. A third story depicted shows a tavern robbery and murder investigation where detectives work to apprehend the killers, using forensic evidence including plaster casts of footprints to track down suspects.
When a desperate fugitive stumbles into Jo-Jo's jungle with tales of enslavement under a tyrannical hawk-worshipping regime, the Congo King is compelled to trek into hostile territory to free the captive men—but discovers that deceit and treachery have already struck at his own home. Now Jo-Jo must navigate the deadly lair of the Hawk Maidens, where a seductive despot named Kima holds both his mate and countless slaves in her cruel grasp, forcing him into an impossible choice between love and justice as her savage birds hunt the desperate.
When a star pitcher mysteriously loses his edge during a crucial pennant race, Phantom Lady suspects foul play—and her hunch leads her to Marvo, a hypnotist with a scheme to manipulate the game itself for profit. Armed with her wits and her famous black ray, she infiltrates the stadium to expose the plot, but finds herself outmaneuvered and forced into an unexpected role in the crooks' operation. In this thrilling tale by Gregory Page, Phantom Lady must turn the tables on her captors and restore fair play to baseball before the ultimate con can pay off.
A criminal mastermind named Joe Viscaro puts his foolproof scheme into motion: animal-masked robbers who can't be identified by their victims, complete with reversible coats and fake license plates. When a service station holdup goes smoothly, Viscaro and his partners Frank and Madge grow confident—but a tavern job turns deadly, and police detective work uncovers the fake plates and footprints that begin closing in. As the gang fractures under pressure and paranoia, Viscaro's perfect plan crumbles faster than he ever imagined.
