29dukedog Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 How about another one that usually flies under the radar... TR 44 has a real funky, '50's "mod" look about it. Or, is it just me? I've never seen a nice copy of this one, either. Four copies in the census with the highest being a 4.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of interesting that it's the blonde who is looking on wistfully. comicnoir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 On my copy, the guy is either quite embarrassed or has really been out in the sun. Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a chance at one of these a little over a year ago. I did not know how uncommon some of these were at the time and I passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenging the long held belief that "blondes have more fun". That wasn't always the case in a Baker world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenging the long held belief that "blondes have more fun". That wasn't always the case in a Baker world. The blonde might possibly pass for an older teenager, but the other two look a lot more like teachers than students. Not too unusual for Baker's "teenagers" to look a decade or two older, though.

Iirc, this cover actually relates to the interior story (if not, then there's a story in another issue that it would relate to). An excellent Dana Dutch effort that was quite mature and adult -- in the good sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Romance Without Tears" cannot be recommended highly enough, even if only for John Benson's discussion of the above average intelligence and maturity of the Dana Dutch written stories.

Ricksneatstuff Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 A few more lower grade, but acceptable to me, Bakers this week. Pictorial Romances 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know how uncommon some of these were at the time and I passed. That's why, if you find a high grade copy, you've got a practically one-of-a-kind item, in the case of many of these books.

n2wdw Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I picked up a few Bakers from Harley at WW Philly this week. More in my journal, if interested.
