Again, great cover but probably not Baker.

I have to respectfully disagree Tony..... if that isn't Baker, nothing is.... GOD BLESS...

Tony, you don't think Zago 4 is Baker?  What does the Art of Glamour list say?

"Cover [Baker?] Note: Jim Vadeboncouer Jr. thinks this is not Baker but an Iger Studio artist swiping him"

[Sqeggs]

Honestly, on some of these Fox books it's tough to tell.  Baker? Part Baker? Iger artist copying Baker?

So true.  I recently saved to disc all the Fox jungle books at the Digital Comic Museum (I don't just download each book- I save each and every .jpg page, one by one- so I looked over all of them, recently), and I saw so many stories and individual panels that I thought just had to be Baker... and just as many where I couldn't quite decide.

It is my firm belief that whomever did the cover to Amazing Ghost Stories 14 also did the cover to Zago 4 ...... and I love them both. GOD BLESS....

I think it's time we cleared up the mystery on some of these covers.  I have a friend in Sedona, Az who is a psychic medium.  I should ask her to ask Baker if he did any of these jungle books.  I'm sure he would tell us...  Want to share in her fee to end the question?   Of course, we might be laughing stocks if we reported the source of the answers...

Funny you should mention Diary Secrets #30... Tony and I both posted our copies in the Baker Romance thread about a week ago.  Go get caught up.  

Your TR 42 is just gorgeous- I want it.  I've got some magic beans, do you wanna trade me for it?

I'm not sure I could climb the beanstalk after the beans grew...

I came in second on the Crime Reporter 3 tonight. 

One of you guys get it?

I go away for a week and we have another Baker thread..., but...you people need to know something.  A top ten Baker cannot have any word balloons on the cover.    So, I hereby eliminate any cover with word balloons from my top ten...except for WR 17...

So, these are examples of covers with no balloons that should be on the list, and i NEVER see anyone post this first one except me...is it scarce?

OK, we now resume our regular programming...

HOLY MOLY!!  That's a posting!  I'll take them!

Here's my DS30 (I wanna be in the club!):

You're either in the club, or at the heavy end of one.

Nice books guys. I really love "little men" covers. I have never seen a copy of this Diary Secrets in person and only a few for sale. I would think it's a pretty scarce one.

Wait a darn minute here...you mean I own a book you don't have Robotman? This might call for a party...

OK, I don't want to clutter up this thread with my top 10 pics, so here is a link to the top 12 in my collection (I couldn't pick just 10)...let me know what you think.  I only chose covers with no word balloons, with one obvious exception.  I'm outa here for a week or so...

One of my favorites. Here's a tragic example. Was given to me for free by a friend. Just imagine it without the jacked bottom right corner...

Too funny. I swear I remember seeing this exact copy at NYCC years and years ago. I initially passed b/c of the corner, then thought twice and went back to the dealer again (Basement Comics?) but it was already sold. Glad it found a good home!
