One of the most widely discussed covers of the Golden Age, Phantom Lady #17 (April 1948) reflects the height of postwar pulp comics. The cover is traditionally credited to Matt Baker and is often cited as a defining example of mid-century “good girl” artwork — bold, theatrical, and designed to stop readers at the newsstand.
The image later became part of the 1950s moral panic over comic books, referenced in Seduction of the Innocent during the national debate over media and youth culture.
This 12″ × 16″ framed print is produced on archival matte paper and housed in a matte black Ayous wood frame. Printed on demand and ready to hang out of the box.
