    Paper: Cream to off white

    Label #4503177019

    Starts Jul 4

    Stories by Ruth Roche. Art by Al Plastino. The beloved yet notorious hero at the center of the 1940s good-girl art trend returns in a slightly less skimpy costume, just in time for the Comics Code. Phantom Lady targets a racket that swindles young couples trying to get their start; PL's costume appears in its tamest version yet, with pants that go almost to her knees; Red Rocket leaps into action when crooks target police evidence. Meanest Men In the World; The Wandering Evidence; Fate At The Helm; Sky Arena; What Price Protection! Final issue of the series, and the final appearance of Phantom Lady until the character was acquired by DC in the 1970s. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
