    No one is supposed to know about these until we have more of them - they're too cool and rare :baiting::takeit:

     

    I could not agree more.  I have noticed that eBay is no longer a rich source for these detective/crime mags.  I likely bought several hundred from 2002 - 2008.

    I think the SS 5 cover is Baker. He struggled some drawing women in profile. 

    I feel like there are several distinct phases/types of Baker art.  There is the early phase that is represented in Classics 32, Seven Seas 3, and some of his Bomber work as well as Phantom Lady 13.  Then another Phase which seems to mix Kamen and Baker like Phantom Lady 17 with Seven Seas 5 with stiffer figures and rougher inking that transitioned to his classic phase on St. John romance.  I would agree that Seven Seas 5 has many Baker elements but artistically is quite different than Seven Seas 4 and 6.  I find his Movie Comics work a bit of an anomaly as it reminds of the Cow Puncher 4 and Seven Seas 4, but was also early in his career.
