THE PHANTOM LADY #5

Question:  If Clark Kent didn't wear his glasses would people recognize him as Superman?

Sandra Knight doesn't wear glasses and her alter ego Phantom Lady doesn't even wear a mask, so how come nobody puts two and two together?  I can't figure it out.  Perhaps no one ever looks at Phantom Lady's face.  Because, I swear the Phantom Lady is drawn with a much larger set of, shall we say, bazongers than Sandra Knight possesses.

No matter.  Phantom Lady is a superhero by dint of her portable black out ray, which looks a bit like a fat iphone.  Without it, she's toast.  (Well, that's what they'd like you to think, but she still remains pretty scrappy.)  How many other superheroes have to rush to a taxi and say, "Follow that cab!"?

For your enjoyment, the December 1954-January 1955 issue of Phantom Lady:

  1. Clearly you're unfamiliar with the SuperBra, the crime-fighter's antecedent of the WonderBra.

  2. I assume the Wonder Bra is responsible for the phrase, "Wonder Twins, activate!"
