It's almost Halloween, so here's some Matt Baker "good girl" art! Plus: Zombies! Doctor Crime!

| The splash page of the story is the inside cover of the comic, with only two colors. |
Oh, did we mention ZOMBIES???
Enjoy...
"America comes

Phantom Lady's Words to Live By!
Doctor Crime (not to be confused with
The Crime Doctor), despite being the
first supervillain the Fox incarnation of
Phantom Lady fought, never returned.
When this story from
Fox's Phantom Lady #15 (1947) was reprinted as the cover feature in
IW's Great Action Comics #8 (1958), the splash page was left out, because the reprint publisher didn't have the
cover printing plates, only the
interior plates for this issue!
As a result, the editor retitled the story "The Zombie".
The new cover was a combination of two redrawn story panels and a badly-rendered (and mis-colored)
Phantom Lady.
The new cover art is attributed in the Grand Comics Database to Jack Abel and Sol Brodsky.
