Yorick Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I like some of the digest size foreign reprints. It seems some panels were printed at 100% scale of the original art! I'm just throwing the Romita Suzy in the background as an indicator of a normal size book. Changer and szucchini 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an Australian edition (Gordon & Gotch) under the main title of "Romance Picture Stories", but it has a sub-title (which may be the actual title for purposes of numbering) of "True Secret Diary". Issue number is 136. Other interior romance art appears to be from St John. Four stories total, and one of which is illustrated by Warren King (his art is growing on me quite a bit - now that I know what his art looks like).

PeterPark Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I wasn't aware of any Baker art in this book. Is this merely an unscrupulous seller or is there something to this? Unsurprisingly, there are no interior shots of the book... https://www.ebay.com/itm/Diary-Confessions-11-STANLEY-PUBLICATIONS-1955-Matt-Baker-VG/224202109878?hash=item34337cb3b6:g:NJgAAOSwLA9fjzy9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPark Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I have a couple comedy carnivals, but my favorite copy has the whole of Pictorial Romances 17 as its interior. Yorick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even BLISSARD doesn't do interior pics. It sickens to be the blindness of so many comic book people. Just because CGC or anyone for that matter calls it a 6.0 doesn't mean it is a 6.0. Baker did a bunch of art that he was not credited for and I believe this is one of them. Just because it says Matt Baker, doesn't mean it was ACTUALLY matt baker, and vice versa.

The CGC label usually doesnt say that. So you have to ask yourself, are we the collectors wrong? or are other "respected' entities just more flawed than most are willing to accept? What genius made Grand Comic Database count both sides of each page? How many pages DON'T have 2 sides? (besides a fox pub......you savvy mother truckers.) Nuff said.

Honestly, I'm happy your doing what you do and I wish you well. I hope lots of people your age are into comics. Its good for all of us. If a mistake was made I will take you at your word. My advice is to be open, honest, transparent and non-confrontational. MB1952, Changer, The Lions Den and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
