Re: "I don’t know why Phantom Lady...Hi Pappy!<br />Re: "I don’t know why Phantom Lady, still Sandra Knight, moved from Quality to Fox Features and got a new costume."<br /><br />When Busy Arnold gave up on comics in 1956 some of his characters were sold to DC, but not all. The titles DC chose to continue were Blackhawks, G. I. Combat, Heart Throbs, and Robin Hood. Jerry Iger believed he owned Phantom Lady and sold the character to Fox. 17 years later DC laid claim to the character. Bill Black at AC disputes their claim, but doesn't have the money to fight it out in court. He renamed his version of the character Nightveil rather than suffer their barratry.<br />Hope this helps!Darcihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01598465647270663106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31723906.post-39430413435204239372013-10-25T10:49:23.201-07:002013-10-25T10:49:23.201-07:00Kamen always kind of toiled under the more well kn...Kamen always kind of toiled under the more well know artists at EC, but he was every inch the same talent, and his skill at good girl art were put to great use here.<br /><br />Not to dwell to far into comic sexism, but it's interesting to think in this period most superhero girlfriends were shrew-like insulting harpies, while most boyfriends -- while next to useless -- were at least lovable lugs, or clueless but insanely manly (which was thought of as a good property.)Brian Barneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15737535617796413548noreply@blogger.com
