Pretty cool colors and action scene!... the colorist really went to town on this one. Will submit it to CGC at some point. Nice stealth buy.

sagii Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 ..Was in a PM conversation with another Boardie on this one. Whether than start a singular Thread thought i should inquire here: While not noted on the label HA designates this a Baker cover in the lot listing. Any agreement?

As much as it has his style, I would vote no. I don’t believe he was even working for FH at this point. sagii, jimjum12, adamstrange and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certain, that's a Robert Webb cover, not just interior art. He did a ton of work for fiction house, including covers, and often worked on the same issues as Baker. They do have a similar style, but those eyes are unmistakable. They have an intensity that is just slightly different than Baker and Kamen. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that familiar with Webb in comparison to Baker and Kamen, but Kamen would have been my call after Baker. Thanks for the insight!

I’m in the I see elements but it just doesn’t look quite right camp. Webb did seem to draw his women a little shorter and thicker than the other FH artists, so I see his style here too.

These are more common and abundant than one would think. A lot of guys will conflate Webb for Baker covers, usually noting Crime Reporter as the comparable... but if you know the two artists well, it's easier to spot the copied style. sagii 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 It's definitely not Baker. It looks like a Doolin design with inks and finish by Webb. Joshua33, szucchini and PeterPark 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
