Arthur F. Peddy[1] (December 26, 1916 – May 15, 2002)[2][3] was an American comic book and advertising artist best known for co-creating Quality Comics' superhero character Phantom Lady and Atlas Comics' jungle girl character Jann of the Jungle. He also was known for a stint as penciler of the superhero team the Justice Society of America for what later became DC Comics.
Peddy began his art career during the late-1930s and 1940s that period fans and historians call the Golden Age of Comic Books and remained active in the medium into the 1970s, when he began concentrating on commercial art and advertising.
Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein's 1965 painting Sound of Music is based on a Peddy comic-book panel.
