classic Matt Baker cover/art; nudity panel (12/47) COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 6 (CBI)Comic 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.
This phenomenal Phantom Lady cover is truly a masterpiece, combining Good Girl Art and danger, and a creative color scheme that looks great on this 9.0 copy. With just a few books grading higher, and less than 70 overall, this is an amazing find, which should bring Matt Baker fans running to their keyboards once the auction begins. Come find out what all the hubbub is surrounding this Golden Age heroine!
