For the Halloween season we offer...Matt Baker "good girl" art! Zombies! Doctor Crime!

| The splash page of the story is the inside cover of the comic, with only two colors, black and cyan. |
Oh, did we mention ZOMBIES???
Enjoy...
"America comes first, even before Dad!"--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 Ruth Roche-scripted and Matt Baker-illustrated tale from Fox's Phantom Lady #15 (1947) was reprinted as the cover feature in IW/Super Comic's Great Action Comics #8 (1958), the splash page was left out, because the reprint publisher didn't have the cover and inside cover printing plates, only the interiors 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 cover art is by Carl (Golden Age Human Torch) Burgos.
