I'm still on board. The Annuals I've passed on are ones I already have.

Let's go!!!

Low numbered Superman & Batman Annuals, please.

Great detective work, and thanks for sharing. Part of what I love about Matt Baker's art is the fact that his best St. John covers are a slice of the American 50's, featuring girls with movie star looks, usually dressed in distinctive fashions of the moment. Linda Darnell had exactly the kind of look that Baker liked to give some of his women, especially the one on the sublime cover for Cinderella Love #25.

I haven't tried it myself, but supposedly you don't need PhotoBucket to post photos here now. They say all you got to do is drag-and-drop!

A copy of Action Comics #7 is on Comic Link right now with a married cover that is detached and completely split, professionally graded 1.5.

I see you're a Les Paul aficionado. I own a bunch of guitars, but the Les Paul is my weapon of choice.

I love my vintage tweed Fender Champ amp. It's a little beast!

Too bad this new set up loses the great functionality of clicking "all" to view every page of a thread on one continuous screen.

I thought that was a motion line of the falling satchel of cash. The fingers of the guy's left hand appear to be in front of that line. Maybe. It's kind of strange. Might be a motion line from the gun he dropped.

St. John was an innovator in many ways, experimenting with 3D, taller-than-usual comics, digest size comics, a couple of the first graphic novels and combination comic book/magazines.

Someone recently mistakenly posted a book in a sales thread, thinking it contained Baker art when it did not. A short discussion ensued, concerning the most reliable listing of Baker art. Overstreet has many errors in this area, and 29dukedog rightly pointed out that the best checklist is in The Art of Glamour. That checklist is not perfect, though, so I followed up with a few corrections. Since this thread is where most of the Baker fans gather, I'm sharing my findings here. Amazing Ghost Stories #15 is not listed but has a Baker cover Authentic Police Cases #36 is NOT a Baker cover Knockout Adventures #1 is not listed, but reprints a Kayo Kirby story from Fight #53 which has Baker art The Saint #1 is not listed, but the Lucky Dale story sure does look like early Baker art, and comicbookplus has it listed with "Pencils Matt Baker?" Slash-D Doublecross nn is not listed, but apparently has a Baker cover
