Beautiful copies of some tough early Jungles!

Recently picked up a Jungle 17 myself. 

Nice book.

Seeing Two Jungle 17’s back to back in this thread one may think they are common, but that is definitely not the case. Congrats to both owners 🙌🏻

Need to keep FH thread healthy.  Here are some favorite classics I recently acquired

Front tear hurts the presentation but I got it really cheap. More Sheena is always a good thing, right?!

Another mail call with 2 great issues of Fight.  Had to pay gpa for 35 but definitely worth it considering grade.

Very cool! 35 might be my favorite FH book. I keep upgrading for color. I’m probably as good as this one gets. Congrats!

Admiring my recent mail call fight 35 and realizing per fiction house ad w newsstand dates vs indica that this issue hit stand sept 25th vs jumbo 69 at oct 1 making fight 35 first published baker.  Both books have underwhelming contributions because Baker only does women.   At first glance I was hoodwinked at jumbo w November indica vs fight indica as December however upon closer examination because fight was bimonthly I went back and studied and caught the nuance.

OSPG does not site Fight 35 as having Baker art.

MCS has "likely" Baker in this issue.  "Good-girl art aplenty as Senorita Rio tracks an heiress abducted by the Nazis. Inking likely done by famed good-girl artist Matt Baker, who started in comics at this time.

They'll do anything to sell a comic. Can anyone really tell Baker's inks for certain?

Nice book... but what story in Fight 35 is Baker?  Art of Glamour calls out Jumbo 69 as his first published work.  The first Fight comics they credit Baker on is issue 36 too.

I appreciate all hard work they did but as with any scholarship they are never the last word.   So to answer the question here are few baker panels.  Keep in mind Iger studio has mult artists per story and likely Baker is only pencils with someone inking.   In other words he assisted on Tiger girl, Hooks, and Shark B but I am not saying every tiger girl is Baker in this issue.  Later he is more prominent.
