Description
Phantom Lady first appeared in August 1941 in Quality's Police Comics #1, an anthology title that established her alter ego as Sandra Knight, the daughter of U.S. Senator Henry Knight. She used a 'black light projector,' a device that allowed her to blind her enemies and make herself invisible, and was sometimes assisted by her fiancé, Donald Borden, an agent of the State Department, in fighting crime. Phantom Lady is a notable example of 'good girl art,' a style of comic art depicting voluptuous female characters in provocative situations and pin-up poses that contributed to widespread criticism of the medium's effect on youth. Her skimpy costume was eventually explained as a deliberate tactic to distract her usually male foes. This design is based on the surreal cover from the FFS published issue #18 that came out in June 1948.
Details
Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on premium Bella+Canvas 3001 Unisex Jersey Short Sleeve Tees, one of the softest, best-wearing t-shirts available today, via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. In short, these shirts are everything you’ve dreamed of and more – it feels soft and lightweight with just the right amount of stretch making it comfortable and flattering for both men and women.

Sizing
Not sure what size is your best fit? We recommend taking one of your current t-shirts, laying it flat and measuring it. The measurements in the chart below are taken with the shirt laying on a flat surface. To get the length, measure from the high shoulder point down to the bottom of the shirt. To get the width, measure approximately 1-inch below the armhole, across the chest, from seam to seam. While our tees are all made using premium, pre-shrunk, ring-spun cotton, there can be some shrinkage depending on your personal wash and dry cycles. With that said, if you're on the fence, we always suggest going up a size.
