It will be interesting to see whether the date in the indicia is 1954 or 1955. Seems to be some confusion in the sources on that point. I like these too! szucchini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Here's a cool cover from that series (kinda), although not Baker and not St. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They get over looked because only one cover features a babe. The number 15 with the underwater crocodile battle cover is a knockout. The brother cover to its sister Seven Seas 4, i always say.

Baker also has an "Autumn" and a "Winter" cover, pictured below. (For his "Spring" and "Summer" covers, I would nominate Diary Secrets 27 and 26, respectively.) sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read an article about that film a few years ago and apparently a complete copy of it no longer exists. After its initial run, it was cut and the studio disposed of the deleted scenes. There's a guy whose hobby is trying to find the missing scenes. So far, he's found prints containing some of them and I think those scenes have been restored to the current video release. But there are still some scenes missing. Always amazes me when I read how careless the studios used to be with the original prints of their films. But I guess that before home video, TV was the only market once a film had competed its run in theaters. And for TV in those days, shorter was probably better.

sagii Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 The only 'babe' cover in the 'Wild Boy' Baker run (If only he'd of put her in a top and loin cloth ). One can only imagine why with all the damsel in distress jungle covers Fiction House put out, setting a 'standard motif for the genre' didn't Baker go that route more with this run? The attention to detail in the foliage and animals on the Wild Boy covers is amazing. comicnoir, Ricksneatstuff and Sqeggs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
