While on the subject of Phantom Lady, I got my hands on the run featuring this particular version of the character. What I found interesting was that those two covers were the only ones featuring bondage, and even then only the one is really "fetishic" in any way, thanks to the way its drawn. Inside, however, there's pretty much next to no actual bondage content, and what situations do exist are extremely tame and not at all portrayed in a sexy/lurid fashion. In fact, what surprised me was the sheer amount of fanservice in the comic. The women almost always curvy paragons of beauty dressed in skin-hugging or skin-baring outfits, moreso than the superheroines of the time. In fact, thats the only content I can suppose that remotely fits Wertham's accusations toward Phantom Lady, cause otherwise, those two covers aside, there really wasn't anything like that.
Such a shame nobody has really tried to revive this particular incarnation of Phantom Lady--I'm not counting Blue Bulleteer; not even remotely the same thing.
