Popular Post sacentaur Posted October 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2020 (edited) New acquisition today, I’ve never seen this St. John before and there’s nothing in the usual databases. No Baker inside as far as I can tell. Of course Sqeggs (Tony) has one, anyone else?

He did do work for St. John I think. Agree it does not look at all like Baker. sacentaur and MBFan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacentaur Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I PM’d with another boardie and he asked the same question. While at the show yesterday, my email to another expert before buying the book went astray, and the miscommunication was my fault. Tough book, but not Baker.

sacentaur Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 The seller (Terry) also had a Comedy Carnival which he said was all Baker inside (it had a PR and TAR), but I didn’t look to confirm (FYI). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see any Baker here. 'Yall got me curious. I knew it wasn't a Baker cover. So I pulled out my copy. These St John giants are comprised of unsold issues (4). I went into The Grand Comic Book Database and discovered that my copy contains Strange Terrors #1, House of Terror #1 (re-colored due to the 3D), Weird Horrors #2 and Authentic Police Cases #18 which almost certianly contains a Baker story. All issues are probably different. Now I have to fight the urge to see what my other St John annuals contain. That should take the rest of the day...

My Comedy Carnival contains mostly funny animal content but it does contain Canteen Kate #3 (all Baker). I have had another copy with same contents and one with nothing but Mighty Mouse. It could very well have contained 4 Baker books. NEVER judge a book by it's cover. You should have looked... Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True - in my defense, I already had the issues that the seller listed as the interiors, and I’m certainly not going to pay big bucks for the Comedy Carnival cover!

Robot Man Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I had a bunch of them out in a stack and noticed all the spines. Like pulp spines, they make an interesting picture. I like to take them out and spread out on the floor. Just never thought about a stack of spines. The Lions Den and jimjum12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
