classic Matt Baker good girl cover
Phantom Lady CollectionPhantom Lady #18 features a particularly dramatic Good-Girl cover by the legendary Matt Baker--this time not only grabbing the viewer with surprisingly erotic imagery, but also with a dramatic and poetic action pose. In recent years, Baker's standing as one of comics' most gifted draftsmen has driven the value of these already-iconic Phantom Lady covers sky-high. There are very few can't-miss comics for investors, but this is certainly one of them.
There s not a bad cover in the bunch when it comes to the lovely Phantom Lady, but this copy of #18 is absolutely breathtaking. The high drama of this cover is bolstered by the intensity of it s predominantly red color scheme. The tones remain so rich and striking and the paper quality itself is also well-kept.

Baker, who toiled in relative obscurity in his day, has become a cause célèbre to savvy modern collectors — not only for his historical significance, but for his remarkable talent that spanned the creation of classic covers for both horror and romance comics. Any book with a Baker cover has become a hot collectible in recent years,
