In "The Coming of the Phantom Lady," the enigmatic Phantom Lady receives a challenge from the mysterious Spider Widow, who demands a duel to determine who is the superior crime fighter—while also claiming the Raven as her own. Simultaneously, Spider Woman gets a matching letter from Phantom Lady, unaware that both women are being manipulated by a criminal gang hoping to eliminate one of them through the other’s hand. Art by Frank Borth and a cover by Matt Baker bring this classic-era intrigue to life in a 2013 reprint from PS Artbooks.
