Dr. Love Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 mature Baker style, wash-like I forget the back story on the text on the brick - Re-issue Of Originals - but I know one of you knows FoggyNelson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 mature Baker style, wash-like I forget the back story on the text on the brick - Re-issue Of Originals - but I know one of you knows TR had been all reprints since issue 38. Guess they finally felt obligated to point out the non-original content. Maybe they even got letters of complaint from those readers who were actually paying attention.

Robot Man Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 I don't know whether I showed this one when I won it and it's not romance ... but it does have babe! I think you did, but I'm happy to see it again. I added it to my want list but doubt I will bump into one that nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Not my favorite Baker cover but completists gotta complete! Mine either but come on, ever seen a bad Baker cover? Nice later style and probably pretty scarce. I'd love to have one in my Baker box too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Sacentaur - Congrats on the fifty Bakers in ONE year!! That's insane. I'd be happy adding one nice example per year. About ten years ago, I won a pretty nice copy of this one on eBay for less than $100., but it had a loose centerfold so I felt obliged to return it. One of my biggest regrets in recent memory. I still have not found another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjpb Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Not my favorite Baker cover but completists gotta complete! Never noticed the "re-issue of originals" brick in the fireplace before. I guess all of the last 8 issues had reprinted content, but it was unusual for a book to announce it back in the 1950s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicnoir Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 One I sold last night..... It sold fast. Congrats. One of the first Bakers I ever picked up. Dealer gave it to me when I bought something else. Didn't know it was scarce. I'll dig it up, seem to recall it being a solid fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBFan Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Someone recently mistakenly posted a book in a sales thread, thinking it contained Baker art when it did not. A short discussion ensued, concerning the most reliable listing of Baker art. Overstreet has many errors in this area, and 29dukedog rightly pointed out that the best checklist is in The Art of Glamour. That checklist is not perfect, though, so I followed up with a few corrections. Since this thread is where most of the Baker fans gather, I'm sharing my findings here. Amazing Ghost Stories #15 is not listed but has a Baker cover Authentic Police Cases #36 is NOT a Baker cover Knockout Adventures #1 is not listed, but reprints a Kayo Kirby story from Fight #53 which has Baker art The Saint #1 is not listed, but the Lucky Dale story sure does look like early Baker art, and comicbookplus has it listed with "Pencils Matt Baker?" Slash-D Doublecross nn is not listed, but apparently has a Baker cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
