I’m open to doing this, please be patient I’m slow 🐢 🐌 I don’t really use the registry but I believe there’s value for us all in creating a Matt Baker Cover section. Let’s go!!!!

To be of any use to the community, the list must be accurate. For example, Zoot Comics #14(a): At some point in the past, GCD likely copied an incorrect Overstreet Price Guide attribution (there have been many), giving Baker art credits for the cover and all stories inside. In 2013, all Baker attributions were correctly removed from the listing, with the notation, "Artist revision from Matt Baker to ? by Craig Delich 2013-4-21. Bill Black confirms art is not by Baker." This is backed up by Alberto Becattini and Jim Vadeboncoeur Jr.'s checklist in The Art of Glamour. Sometime since 2013, however, someone at GCD uncorrected the correction, and the listing now wrongly shows Baker credits for the cover and stories. Possibly, someone copied the incorrect attributions from an existing CGC label, which was itself based on Overstreeet or GCD errors in the past. For the sake of the collecting community, these errors must not be perpetuated. Mavrick76, Changer and grendelbo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even his earliest work showed more style. The Zoot art is awkward. It's an insult to Matt Baker to say that it's his work. According to the opinions of the recognized experts who worked on The Art of Glamour, with a few Phantom Lady exceptions, most Matt Baker attributions in Fox publications are incorrect. grendelbo, Changer and Mavrick76 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
