I wasn't motivated to go. Glad you could find some books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Too many of these have VERY dark blues on the main woman's dress and you just can't see the line work. I like this copy a lot in that it is very light. Sqeggs copy, in the other hand, has that really awesome looking fade on the title logo (besides being the current highest). I've put down ridiculous bids on every copy of this one I see. I believe its one of the top five toughest TAR issues. I was able to get the 45 before I found one of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I typically like to be selfish and keep things for my private viewing pleasure, but you Baker fans are sharing really wonderful stuff... This is quite interesting. Guess who's name is under the white-out? Yep - it's him! I think what happened is that he was falling behind schedule and needed Thornton to finish the Sunday. With the extra help, they chose to white out Baker's name on the by-line rather than adding another name and run out of space. Flamingo here in the first panel is 100% Baker. I see hints of Baker in the following panels, but more Thornton than Baker. Probably Baker pencils and Thornton inks. I can't believe that HA didn't put this on a lightboard to see what was under the white-out. I would guess that there would have been more interest in this if they had noted it. comicnoir and Robot Man 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw HA's listings for those in their Sunday auctions. Thornton and Baker were clearly trying to achieve a similar style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
