Probably a Fine at best, but these are so hard to find in decent condition, so I'm thrilled to have it. Nice copy of one of the tougher issues.

I assume that the face of the female figure is intended to be ghastly. Even Baker's Bad Girls look good..........

I know it's a gamble but I know the seller and trust your experience on whether it was a rare opportunity to grab one. It stands out also because the image of the girl was used on the Baker tribute book. I leave my C**S books as is but will ultimately crack this P*X one out and submit to CGC What was the P*X grade? I have several Baker's in those slabs that look accurately labeled/graded. I have heard one or two horror stories though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to see what CGC grades it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that in my watchlist and was considering pulling the trigger. Only reason I didn't was I just had two awful P*X nightmares in a row. I wish you the best sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherworldsj331 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Baker romance art has become some of my favorite comics ever. Big change when as a kid in the late 60's when iI would not even look at romance comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherworldsj331 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I sometimes wonder how Baker romance would have looked inked by Cardy, my second favorite artist when drawing woman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherworldsj331 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Gives me an idea to see if I can commission a couple of artists to mimic their styles as a penciler and inker for a cover or a panel page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly can't recall even seeing them on the stands, but I know they must have been there. That's how little impression they made on me then.

otherworldsj331 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 You got it. I will post it here if I ever get it done, which I think I will. It may take a while... Any suggestions on what cover? I am open to anyone else giving a suggestion on what cover and maybe even what artists to seek out to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

otherworldsj331 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 That's a good one. Not surprised. But for some reason, it does not personally attract me as much as about maybe 10 or 12 others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otherworldsj331 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 (edited) But if enough people comment on what cover, I will get that one done, regardless if it is my top 10 list or not, as I like all Baker romance covers.

Some suck, but most were ahead of their time in some ways. I forgot the writer's name, Dana something? He was a good writer for those times.
