Perhaps the first sequence was drawn in 1947, unsuccessfully pitched to a syndicate, then dredged up again in '52? Then new strips were needed? The lettering is also totally different from the earlier sequence (which had the "1947" style...) Edited June 13, 2021 by Sarg add MBFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarg Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Off-topic, but does anybody know when or why all the Phantom Lady Fox covers were attributed to Baker? The earliest Overstreet I have is #9 (1979), which says, "Matt Baker covers/stories in all" for the Fox series. Do earlier Overstreets have this attribution?
