Outstanding color on that copy Tony. Baker, Kamen, Feldstein? I don't care. I love it either way and am an equal fan of all 3. That and Flying Jenny #2 are two of my favorites.

comicnoir Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 The only part of the cover that really might be Baker for me is the guy on the left with the open mouth. Baker did mouths like that. And yes, that is one weird cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "headlights" and many other elements just look a lot like Feldstein..... either way, it's a cool cover .....that static cling generator appears designed to disrobe the gals..... seems like a lot of trouble to go to, when a box of chocolates and a bottle of Sherry might work just as well.... GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) ... nice copy by the way..... The horizontal fabric fold across the 'headlights" is a signature Feldstein touch, as is the thick inking, paricularly on the grass line creating a shadow effect. The slightly awkward tilt of the head in relation to the body also seems like Feldstein, but the face does look a little more like Baker than Feldstein, which is maybe why it is such attributed at times.

jimjum12 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Also, the tree doesn't say Baker to me, nor does the machine. In fact, I can't recall anything with a SciFi bent that Baker ever worked on..... but I may be forgetting something. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) ...... wow....my memory is getting bad..... Baker did work in Planet Edited May 7, 2017 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good call. I see some Baker likeness in the girls face too, but nothing else looks Baker to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker did work in Planet At the end of this career, he also did some sci-fi/fantasy/suspense stories for Atlas and Charlton. I can't recall off the top of my head whether any contained sic-fi images like the machine on the Crown cover, but I'm thinking they didn't.

Baker did work in Planet I often tend to overlook Baker's slim sci-fi output, too. He did Mysta of the Moon in Planet Comics, but only for 7 or 8 issues.

The PLs are some of the more contested Baker attributions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is obviously trying to run away from the thugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RICK STARR Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I picked up this issue a while back. Only copy I have ever seen for sale. Unfortunately, a printing defect of the front cover. But, a sharp crisp copy with nice colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
