I actually feel like both 16 and 17 have more Kamen than Baker in the faces. PL 13 and 14 remind me of some of Baker’s early work visible in the Crown covers. PL 15 looks like the more standard Baker female. Look at Seven Seas 3 - 6. Hard to believe it was the same artist who did all the covers. Seven Seas 3 is like PL 13. SS 4 and 6 are classic Baker. SS 5 is more like PL 17 with some heavy and stiff inking potentially ruining some of the classic Baker pencils. Just my two cents. Her boobs look a little square on #17. I vote Kirby did it!

Sky Girl by Iger-Shop. scams thanks to comicbookplus.com Art of Glamour correctly left #120 off the list of Baker work in Jumbo. The CGC note is probably based on the Overstreet Price Guide, which as recently as the 50th edition misattributed Sky Girl to Baker through issue #130. (It may still be wrong in the 51st edition, which I don't have.) Edited June 12, 2022 by MBFan 51st edition comment MB1952 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baker was famous for being the overall best and fastest draftman of GGA in his time, and probably ever (and also for dressing nattily as everyone seemed to point out). He wasn't famous for drawing big juggs and often didn't. This Feldstein comment is reductive and somewhat insulting. I think his memory failed him here.

When I first bought Art of Glamour and began collecting Baker in earnest, I took Feldstein's statement at face value. Eventually, though, it became apparent that almost all true Matt Baker art was tastefully drawn, and that the work that was sexually over-the-top might not be his at all, or at the very least is his art modified by a heavy handed inker. Even when Baker drew a street corner hooker, she was not gaudy. Edited June 12, 2022 by MBFan Not my book.
