Here's the 3 that I have.  I have slim hopes of finding a Confessions of Love 2.  I also regret selling my Baker digests, I had 2 copies of #7 and a #9 at one point.

Great copies of some outrageously rare and fun comics! Someone should start a Digest Thread... These beauties could get overlooked in this Baker thread.

Probably a little limited. I started a giant/annual thread once and it went no where fast.

These aren't St. Johns.  I've had these awhile  and just realized they are the same characters.  So cool!

He did some really nice covers outside of St John.

Does anyone know who was inking the majority of these Quality covers?  They look like the same hand, but a few might be 100% Baker.

GCD doesn't venture an opinion, but I notice that that issue has a story with pencil and inks attributed to Ogden Whitney.  Thinking of his ACG covers from that period, it might be him.  But I'm not very good at figuring out things like that.

Continuing on Digests even if Not Baker per se is this one.  I have seen a few copies for sale over the years, but still kind of cool

Quality inks are generally heavy and stiff, neither of which are attributes of Whitney who, by this time, was working fairly frequently for ACG.  I suspect the usual Quality inkers were employed for Matt's pencils, but I don't know who all their stable included besides Ward and Kotzky.

Yeah, it must be the inking on these. I've only got a couple and have had chances for others. They just seem to have a different look than the St. John's which I prefer more. Might be the coloring too. The St. John's seem to have richer colors as well.

Here's my APATLS 1

I flipped through for the first time in years. Lots of Canteen Kate stories.

Another copy.  Great to see one more to add to the list!

I'm with you, Bob.  I've never been too inspired to get Baker's Quality romance books.  In addition to the art not being as appealing to me, the post-Code stories are not up to the standards of Dana Dutch's work for St. John.
