About this Collection

This second volume in the Roy Thomas Presents series continues reprinting the Golden Age adventures of the original Phantom Lady, featuring her crime-fighting exploits from the late 1940s. Collecting issues from the Quality Comics run, this softcover edition showcases the character's classic pulp-inspired stories and artwork from the era, with historical context provided by Roy Thomas.

In "The Beauty and the Brain!", Phantom Lady takes on a mysterious sabotage plot when a group of ex-Gestapo agents steal a device capable of silencing every radio station in the country. With Senator Knight drawn into a cryptic message, Phantom Lady steps in to uncover the truth—before the nation’s communications fall completely silent. Written by Gregory Page and illustrated by the legendary Matt Baker, this Softee edition brings together Baker’s iconic art and Jack Kamen’s sharp cover work in a standout chapter of the classic hero’s legacy.
