Where do they come from? I recently picked up Manhunt v01n08 and found no Baker (reading it as my gym book this week) which leaves me with I believe one remaining St. John digest I haven't seen with a decent possibility to contain his art (Verdict v01n01).

Only the first four Manhunts that I've found. Baker is given an art editor credit in the first issue. If you go for the UK copies, they don't publish the illustrations with a color wash.

Well it is #3 in Overstreet's top 10 romance, and it doesn't show up that often. Coupled with the girl's jutting profile and you've got demand. I got my copy around that same time from Harley for $180.00, so I got lucky He had another copy for $300.00 I should have bought. Here's mine.

Here's mine. Nice. What you paid is roughly in line with the other Bakers you got back then. But on Heritage in 2006, I didn't think the market existed for a Baker romance comic to net $1400. Figured at that time the only book tied to his name fetching hefty prices was PL 17, mainly due to its association with SOTI. I stand corrected.

I don’t think it super rare but very desirable and most copies are locked up in collections. A very pretty book with great composition. One of my favorites but still pales under #12 which I consider his best. Glad I found my copies when no one was looking for them.
