Wonderful ! Golden age of Comics !
   By Quirky Quokka
I had heard of Phantom Lady before, so it was great to finally read one of her comics. The book begins and ends with a Phantom Lady Comic - In the first one, she stops a syndicate that is rigging boxing matches, and in the second she is fighting communists. When this was published in the 50s, America was in the midst of McCarthyism, so it would have been a good piece of propaganda. The book also includes a two-page prose story that I didn't read; and two other comics that I did. One was a nonfiction piece about John Peter Zenger, a German printer who fought for free speech in America in the 1700s. I'd never heard of him, but was interested enough that I looked him up. The other was a funny piece involving a young man and a witch, with a final scene reminiscent of the Salem Witch trials. There were references to First Nations people that would be politically incorrect today, and I didn't like the story as much. But it's interesting reading it in context of the times. I liked the book as a whole and will read the other issues available, but I liked the Phantom Lady ones the best.
