Description

Phantom Lady #17 (Fox, 1948) CGC FN+ 6.5 Cream to pink pages. This classic bondage cover and interior art by Matt Baker makes for one of the most iconic pre-Code comics. In Seduction of the Innocent, Dr. Fredric Wertham described the classic cover as "a sadist's dream." This pivotal example of Baker's "good girl" art has a high tendency to sell far above Guide value. To give you an idea of how far: a copy certified 6.0, one notch lower than the one offered here, sold for $42,000 here at Heritage last year. Currently tied for #73 on Overstreet's list of Top 100 Golden Age Comics. Overstreet 2024 FN 6.0 value = $8,775; VF 8.0 value = $22,400. CGC census 5/25: 8 in 6.5, 21 higher.
