Minor color touch on cover. Jack Kamen and Matt Baker art. Second copy we've encountered. Printed in Canada. Overstreet 2017 FN 6.0 value = $60.More Information: Edit 2/12: Added restoration information and clarified that there is no separate U.S. edition. but no one else mentions the Baker art. That's why I second guessed it and also because the art didn't appear to be his. Funnybooks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Heritage has misrepresented non-Baker art as by Baker along with every other comics dealer for the last 50 years. The trouble is that sometimes it is difficult identifying Baker, especially the pre-St. John era, because he used different inkers, usually didn't sign his work, etc. The most famous mis-attributed example is Phantom Lady 17. jsilverjanet, 10centcomics and MBFan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raze Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I hope this counts as Mycomicshop.com has 1-2 stories with Baker art and a Russ Heath cover. jimjum12, szucchini, adamstrange and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he gets it, The eBay seller sent out an offer of 5K to the watchers and looks like someone may have accepted it (or made a counteroffer back) as the listing is now sold. If you search under sold listings for CL25, you can see that the same beat-up copy sold in Sept 2021 for $29.99. Not a bad flip!
