I can't remember where SS 4 finished in our favorite Baker cover poll, but it's always been near the top for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some of us who spent years trying to find these issues in the 1990s and early 2000s, it's not how much they are worth, it's the fact that we actually got a copy...and THEY AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE!

If it's not Baker, I think it was someone trying to closely emulate him. From the very beginning, the comic industry was rife with swiping and emulation, making the retrospective identification of art credits the challenge that it is.

I know have said it before (multiple times!) but there's such a sharp contrast between Baker's last covers for St John--among his very best work--and his mediocre to weak covers for Quality. The gap in time seems to have been only a year or maybe two. thehumantorch and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
