Reading Room: PHANTOM LADY "Beauty and the Brain"

We begin presenting the COMPLETE Fox/Farrell Phantom Lady with this torrid tale from #13, which is her first issue. (Before this, the comic was titled WottaLife and featured funny animals.)
The art was by the incomparable Matt Baker, perhaps the premier "good girl" artist of the Golden Age.
As we mentioned at the top of this entry, we'll be presenting the complete run of stories including her All-Top Comics appearances.
PLUS: while we're not going to do most of the Quality Comics appearances (in the yellow and green ensemble), we will be doing the multi-issue crossover with Spider Widow which ran in both Police Comics and Feature Comics in a one-week daily presentation.

Reading Room: THOR: GOD OF THUNDER "Thor Goes to War"

With World War II still on the horizon for America in 1940, the Golden Age Thor has to contend with a girlfriend who still can't perceive of the horrors to come...
It's amazing how much they jammed into only 12 pages back then!
This rather lively tale was from Weird Comics #2, pencilled by Pierce Rice, inked by Arturo Cazeneuve.
