JvR11 Posted June 12, 2008 Author Share Posted June 12, 2008 In case anyone was interested in seeing some panels.. Let's see, corporal punishment, catfights? You had to ask? Adam, don't you have some great Bakers too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 This isn't identified as a Baker cover in the guide but it is at least influenced by Baker. Maybe he had a different inker? bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 This one may have been posted already. But while I was searching in the other boxes, I found a few other scans to post. The sadist illo is from Fury. The other story illustrated by Baker was written by Harlan Ellison (based on his teenage gang non-fiction). comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Baker drew some nice westerns. This one featured "Buckskin Belle", Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 And my last three romance comics, unless I find something else hidden in the "T" box. The last two are beater copies with a little photoshop work. bb That Pictorial Romances cover seems kind of cynical. And this Going Steady cover pictures the ultimate romantic dream. (Except for Dad paying the $18,000 for the wedding.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really interesting to see these pencil drawings as well. comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JvR11 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Here are some more.. I really dig this Teen-Age Temptations even though there is no Baker art in the interior, you can see two artist's perspectives on the same panel. The cover is Baker and the interior has a story done by Rick Estrada. Also, even though this Pictorial Romances is one of the more common, I think it is great one for Baker illustrations. Now, anyone want to sell me their Cinderella Love 25? comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I found another Diary Secrets but I think I will stop looking now. These romance comics were picked up and just stuffed in random boxes. Hopefully they will be easier to locate from now on. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I always thought that this looked like a Baker cover too. bb And don't forget the ultimate Baker crime comics. and this one you can color yourself. comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Here's one to go with the crime theme. I like that Crime Reporter cover. I used to have this one but I sold it a while ago. bb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB-Gun Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) And as long as I have the "C" box out, don't forget the Classic Comics edition of Lorna Doone. Ok, someone may have shown this one but I had the box out and Brigadoon was on TV yesterday. bb Edited June 19, 2008 by BB-Gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seank Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hey, guys, thanks for posting all those great Baker covers. I'm a big Baker fan but have ignored the romance covers in favor of interior art. I'm thinking now I'll have to start looking for some at the next con I make it to. (Hoepfully not Wondercon '09!) And is anyone else surprised at how racy some of these covers are? Not for the images themselves, but for the situations they portray? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get everything from "reefer smoking", brothels, to wayward girls. Things you would have thought would have been "taboo". And, these comics were targeted to the teenagers. The St. John scripts really kept you interested much better than the tears on cheek stories that came after sensors.
