TAR #39 is just an awesome cover. More and more I notice the body language Baker gives his characters, particularly in his later St. John covers ('54-'55). The body language here is *fantastic*, with her relaxed and confident, him trying to strike a pose but somewhat nervous and uncertain under the surface. A sensibility way ahead of its time on a 1954 cover. MusterMark, comicnoir, PeterPark and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't recall them being great literature, but Dell/ Western always demanded a minimum level of basic storytelling competence that was far greater than a lot of the other Golden Age publishers. Add Matt Baker art and I think they qualify as good, and more readable and enjoyable than I find the Baker romance stories. (I love looking at the Baker romance, but trying to actually read them makes my brain hurt.) Robot Man and Tri-Color Brian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
