Baker's is slicker and more polished, but the unnamed source is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicnoir Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I can see my last question remains unanswered. Here's Shaun Clancy's post in Comic Books: The Golden Age about meeting and interviewing Ray Osrin. Reading about Matt and Ray brings a lump to my throat. https://www.facebook.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/294141427352481/permalink/1919821511451123/groups/294141427352481/permalink/1919821511451123/ Edited June 28, 2019 by comicnoir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My junky iPhone photos don't do the gloss or rich colors on this copy justice. Been looking for a copy of this possibly best Baker non-babe cover book for a while Nice! The non-babe Baker covers are underappreciated, imo. I think this is one of the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like looking at them as a set with the #24 first. Kind of a "before and after marriage" narrative. His unpublished cover to 25 shows them in divorce court. Actually 23 is one of my favorite Baker covers. Not necessarily a cover that would inspire a teenage girl to part with her dime, though.

Btw, I just checked my spreadsheet and I bought this copy raw on eBay for $16.95. That was before many of you crazy mixed-up kids got into romance books ... and just about the time that I did. comicnoir and MBFan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
