By the way, for anybody interested in the version of Phantom Lady (still Sandra Knight) published by Fox starting in 1947, there's a separate thread for that:

Continuing the story from Police Comics #7 (February 1942):

Random question that's been on my mind lately as I've been going through some old Matt Baker PL comics:

Why, when DC brought back Sandra, did they go with the yellow costume and not the more iconic blue Baker costume? Wonder if it was a legal thing, like they had a stronger claim to the Quality version than the Fox version.

Is the blue-with-red-cape one really more "iconic"?

When you think about it, that color scheme is so generic.

Yellow with a green cape really does stand out more, especially when surrounded by other costumed characters.

Is the blue-with-red-cape one really more "iconic"?

Oh yes, definitely. It's the one in all those famous PL covers, like the one that wound up in Seduction of the Innocent.

Oh yes, definitely. It's the one in all those famous PL covers, like the one that wound up in Seduction of the Innocent.

I don't think they are so much "famous" as much as they are "infamous".

And by the way, Phantom Lady had her own series from Fox for 11 issues (#13 - #23).
She also appeared in several issues of All Top Comics, but Rulah (a jungle dame) was the cover feature for that book.
