Phantom Lady is a fictional superheroine appearing in media published by Quality Comics and DC Comics. She was created by the Eisner & Iger studio, one of the first to produce comics on demand for publishers.[1] The character's early adventures were drawn by Arthur Peddy.[2]
As published by Fox Feature Syndicate in the late 1940s, Phantom Lady is a notable and controversial example of "good girl art", a style of comic art depicting voluptuous female characters in provocative situations and pin-up poses that contributed to widespread criticism of the medium's effect on children.[3] The character was ranked 49th in Comics Buyer's Guide's "100 Sexiest Women in Comics" list.[4]
