About PHANTOM LADY 23: ALL TIED UP
A reimagining of the Golden Age classic comics covers PHANTOM LADY #23 by ‘Punisher’ and ‘X-Men’ Marvel artist John Hebert.
"I got excited about the cover for issue #23 for the opportunity to add more detail and texture to an already great composition. One of the things about drawing back in that era was a lot of the time you didn’t have the opportunity to include a lot of detail. You were up against high demand to put new issues out quickly, and limited to the technology of the time so printed detail wasn’t that great. For my recreation, I wanted the hair to look like it would feel like hair; and rope would feel like rope, and the metal of the gun would shine, and so on. I worked to give each different material in the images more realistic texture and bring the classic action into a more modern comic reality." - John Hebert
About Phantom Lady
A property of Fox Feature Syndicate, the original crime drama book was published in April 1949, with pencils and inks by Jack Kamen, untitled and unconnected to anyone's story inside. The image depicted Phantom Lady bound in ropes at odds with her male assailant.
The female protagonist Sandra Knight is a Washington D.C. socialite and daughter to Senator Henry Knight. As heroic costumed alter ego Phantom Lady, Sandra Knight battles crime using her detective-like wit and fighting skills. She is aided by a specialty gadget, a blacklight ray that she uses to project darkness, blinding her foes and making her invisible.
