Bought a batch of 1950's Australian edition Romance comics on eBay. This was one of the standouts: Digest sized 'Sweethearts Library #48'. It contains stories from a variety of publishers, but this has a few Baker St. John stories included. According to GCD, i thnk it's the only issue with Baker stuff. Nice painted cover too.

Nice.  This was in my watch list.  If they had posted photos of those black and white interior pages it would have been mine!

Thanks! Much appreciated ( but you can  imagine much to my delight how glad I am they didn't) :baiting:

You established Baker boys don't leave meat on the bone :D

New Baker rolled into the pile. Not real fond of his Quality work, but I couldn't pass it up for the price

I have not seen this one before.  Really cool.  Looks like a swipe, and only of the central figure.

I agree- it went at a reasonable price. Good buy! (thumbsu

Yeah I was surprised - and very happy of course - at the closing price.  My max bid was about double that. But the spine is split almost halfway up the comic so that probably kept people away.

I was the underbidder, and I was buying it to resell at some point, so I think you got it for a decent price. Classic book.

Glad I forgot. At double that price you would have beat me anyway. Just glad I didn't run it up on you needlessly. It's a great book!

That's not a bad idea...

I posted several covers that I made up several years ago.  One of the most popular (one person said they liked it) was the She-Wolf cover.

There are a few Canadian publications that have used Baker splash pages for covers too.  I remember one but created another.
