And let's not forget the Sandra Knight version published by Fox after Quality stopped using the character.

Glad to see Phantom Lady in the trailer for Freedom Fighters The Ray. Seems she'll be taking a leadership position which I think will be fun to see. Wonder if they'll give her powers or gadgets. Either way looking forward to it

[Agent Z]

What if Phantom Lady had internalised intangibility but her suit made her invisible?

Sandra Knight

Creators: Will Eisner and Jerry Iger

And I first read a story of hers from Police Comics #17 when it was reprinted by DC in Adventure Comics #416 (March 1972).

Was there a sexier superheroine from the Golden Age than Fox's Sandra?

As I pointed out in your PL poll thread, the first time I ever saw her was in the 1976 Comic Book Guide. There was a picture of her on a Matt Baker cover (the theme of that particular guide was Good Girl art, FWIW )

My "exposure" to reprints of the Fox version was mostly through AC comics (the company that does FemForce) in a comic book called Good Girl Art Quarterly.



(Cheesecake, anyone?)

(Cheesecake, anyone?)

I have always been ambivalent towards cheesecake. While I have never sought it out and have always felt it discouraged a greater female readership... my eyes can't deny its attraction.

To me, if the cheesecake is done carefully/tastefully, that's one thing. If the cheesecake is the sole reason behind the plot/story, I'm more likely to pass it up.

Totally agree, Major.

[Robotman]

really wish they would have used her in the Terrifics instead of creating a whole new character.

Was just thinking the same thing myself

But we don't know anything about who the "Phantom Girl" that will be in Terrifics will be and whether she has any unique/special abilities or not.
(And using the "Sandra Knight" character name but changing everything about her past and giving her powers she never had wouldn't make much sense, either.)

What does that have to do with using Phantom Lady?

Who said she'd have to change everything about her past or get powers?
