(Not my photos) I've wondered the same thing on this one, I think I've asked before and didn't get much response. To me, it's the man on the left that makes me think Baker more than the other faces. At least it has a Baker story inside for certain. : Edited 3 hours ago by OtherEric Mavrick76 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Not my photos) imho they look like Ogden , the womens face seem too oval and sharp features and the clothing on both too stiff. Composition also awkward.

Brides Romances (1953) comic books (mycomicshop.com) When I thumbed through the MCS covers for this particular title, the two I suspected as Baker were identified as such at the GCD: GCD also has 18 identified as possible Baker (the coming down the stairs one Mavrick asked about) - I can maybe see it in the girls legs but otherwise not so much. It's hard to tell with the heavy inks at Quality, and I wouldn't rule out team/shopwork with a lot of the Quality covers, so they can be hard to peg It's like with any artist, the best work is easy to identify, the worst not so much. Whenever I correspond with the expert on whoever their particular guy is, there's always a readiness/happy willingness to discount the works at the margins and the rushed/botched examples. No one wants a master to get blamed for the shoddiness (even when we all understand work on a deadline for peanuts isn't always the most conducive atmosphere for the artist). Baker's early and late stuff can be tricky af, not to mention there seems to be a lot of money/collector concerns with people wanting a book to be Baker when it's not. I do really like the discussions in here about it, though, these are the sorts of IDs that have to be reached by something like consensus - Edited 2 hours ago by Darwination OtherEric, jimjum12 and Mavrick76 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally different animal than Baker but I unapologetically love his style too. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
