Phantom Lady #22

Phantom Lady leaps into action on this February 1949 Fox Features cover, clinging to a bullet-riddled brick wall as gunfire erupts around her and a getaway car tears through the street below — all while a bold badge-shaped caption declares "Crime Never Pays!" Jack Kamen's cover pencils give the scene a kinetic, street-level energy that pulls you right into the chaos. With Gregory Page scripting "The Case of the Robbing Robot!" inside, this issue promises the kind of pulpy, fast-moving adventure that made Phantom Lady one of the more distinctive heroines of the Golden Age.
