The woman is very stiff and reminds me more of a Kamen pose, Maybe it is the inking, but curious if others question whether this is Baker? Still, it is a beautiful copy!

MB1952 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Agree, doesn’t look Baker to me. More like trying to ape his style. Definitely not Baker inks look at the guy holding gun bad inking. Female face also doesn’t look Baker. This is 1948! Baker joined St John late 1948. Baker rarely ink, but when he did it’s was a very smooth hand, not heavy inks. Really early was inking Alex Blum pencils. Also ink several Flamingo strips. BakerFanOne, Sqeggs, Point Five and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's by Lee Ames, a talented artist who contributed a number of pieces for Avon, unlike Baker, who didn't.

Dr. Love Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Of course Adamstrange is correct as usual. But really who needed someone to tell you what's what with this cover? Not even one of those close Kamen calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB1952 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 This book has benefit from Baker prices jump. What will be the impact going forward knowing is not Baker cover at all. will it take a value hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may stay steady for a long time, though; not increasing or dropping. Funnybooks and Sqeggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherEric Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 $4 Bakers may be a thing of the past... but here's a $9 Baker. There's still a (very) few Baker bargains out there: pmpknface and MB1952 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Indeed. There are still those Lassies, Lorna Doone CL and some non GGA APC and Westerns that can be had in low grade for a good price if you look for them. OtherEric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
