Towards the end of his career with St. John, Baker produced some of the covers we love best - but those issues also have the weakest interiors. The Cinderella Loves are Ziff Davis stories inside; the Going Steadys have little or no Baker, and whatever Baker there is are reprints from earlier titles.
Believe it or not, pound for pound, the Teen-Age Diary Secrets 7 digest has more original Baker art than any other title/issue, by a wide margin - 61 pages. Next in line is the Giant TLP 4, with 41 original Baker pages.
The sublime cover for Diary Secrets 16 (outstanding book Rick!), one of the very first full no dialogue covers, is actually a nuanced rework of an earlier splash from Wartime Romances 12.
The only "real" original owner romance collector (archivists like Church, Crippen, and Crowley don't fit the bill), of course a gal, was Nancy Wessner. Over the course of 25 years I've seen her books surface here and there, and it's always a rush to see her easily recognized sig again. She liked St. John and Fox, two interesting choices for a young girl, but she also bought across the board in the 50's. No Charlton of course - Charlton has been universally shunned like an Amish with a taste for porn.
Here are some Nancy books (not my books, just grabbed screen shots). If you have any Nancy's in nice shape, I'm a for real buyer.
Teen age Diary Secrets Digest is a great book with Lots of Baker inside. The cover is decieving. I like the Baker digest "It rhymes with Lust" a lot too. full of nice Baker art.

Nice copy of a rarely seen (at least by me) issue.
It took me a while to find a decent copy. I believe probably due to the cover, most people hang on to it.

That is Robert A. Brown on the right side but it is George Evans on the left and Joe Vusinovich (sp?) in the center but who is no longer with us. George is holding an old Colt replica and the bag contains black powder. Robert remembers the moment very well because he got a piece of Evan's art that he really wanted.
Got any old photos of cons or Collectors Book store Rich?

We had better hurry...I think the cat is already out of the bag on Dizzy Dames! ... But not much else; if their other teen titles are like that, they are just waiting to be discovered.
ACG's also seem to me to often be pretty beat up. You notice that "Archie Syndrome" with them too, or is it just me?
Check out Killroys and Cookie. Many have Moronica (Dizzy Dames) stories. Many have great covers and are very reasonable.

For those of you who like the Timely painted covers, I finally found a copy of the companion book to Georgie #25 (see below)
This cover was repainted for use on an issue of Joker, the adult humor digest in 1953. Georgie was published in 1950. The artwork was modified just a bit to make the man who was previously Georgie look a bit older:
I never thought I'd find a copy of this one so I was pretty thrilled when I did! The Joker issue is digest sized. I just enlarged the scan to make it comparable.
Very cool Peter Driben cover! Anybody know if he did any more comic book covers? He did a lot of great pin-up work in magazines such as these.

Y'know, now that I think about it, that folded over flap on the Best of the West 10 really DOES fit in with the rest of the cover's theme, doesn't it?
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz What?

I think Terry owes me a little commission with all the "pimping" I've done on this collection...
All kidding aside, it is a great group of books. Some stuff you just never see.
