This is another one of those pictures that looks fine at first but has something really weird nestled at its heart, so that the longer you look at it the stranger you find it. As far as demonstrating Phantom Girl's powers, the ol' "jaunty traipse through the atoms of a table" gag is a pretty fair representation of what she's all about. And you can't beat the patented Phantom Girl skin-tight, flared-sleeve, bell-bottomed, cut-out pant-suit as far as costumes go. No, what's bugging m bout this picture of PG is her hair. Why is her hair so big? It's kind of like the artist was determined to draw her with great big glam hair like Dream Girl but then had the law laid down upon 'em re: Phantom Girl having pig-tails but then rebelled against hair-fascism by making giant poofy glam pig-tails. And twenty years later? Twenty years later those things are freaking me out, man.

Hated the boots. She will always be a slippers gal to me. Clomping around in heels doesn't seem very phantomy, does it?
And that must be her "workout table". After a few passes through, she's ready for her shower. Who needs a gym or a danger room to hone one's abilities when ordinary furniture will do?
PG is an all-time favorite, though.
I'm glad she got a solo post.
"Ability to become immaterial"? I also do not approve of describing Phantom Girl as having the ablity to not matter.
You're just lucky that the original wording was caught before it went to print:
"Ability to become completely fucking irrelevant."
