Phantom Lady CollectionComic collectors have spent decades chasing after classic Phantom Lady covers, but it's only been in recent years that artist Matt Baker gained the widespread fame and acclaim he so richly deserves. Known for his exquisite linework and eye-popping yet sympathetic portrayals of beautiful women, Baker's historic status as one of the few black artists working in the mid-20th Century comic industry has triggered a reevaluation of his standing in the pantheon of graphic artists. The scarcity of much of his work--especially in high grade--has fueled the frenzy of collectors, with Baker's Phantom Lady covers easily the most in demand.
A true paragon of pre-code comics, this copy of Phantom Lady #15 is tied for second highest graded and at 9.4 is truly an impressive find. The dynamic cover is impeccable in its color and page quality.
Overstreet Guide 2019 NM- (9.2) value = $5,100.
