We're pretty close to that. Besides, I don't know what else we can do to get those additional votes that we haven't tried already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to list all 18 to make the poll work. I'll post the results, after I vote.

I don't think what others feel is "popular" makes any difference. It is personal preference. I voted on the ones I liked the best. I don't always go with the herd. Some of the books that Baker did get a lot of praise. A lot of them just leave me flat. I agree as the poll taker, you need to be impartial. But, that being said, after it is over it would be great to see your list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 By the way, Matt Baker seems to be the king of the boards these days and deservedly so. There are 3 threads here on the first page everyday alone. Makes me wonder who the most popular GA artist of all time would be? Some, like Kirby seem to go in and out of fashion in time. Years ago, hardly anybody talked about Baker. That's when I was quietly scooping up his work. My favorite would be Schomburg. Closely followed by Baker and most of the EC artists. But that is a topic for another time. Hudson and SuperGrover 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3 threads here on the first page everyday alone. In the last 15 years or so, Baker's popularity has undergone an expansion second only to that of the universe, a nano second after the big bang. (Google "cosmos + expansion".) On eBay in 2003, I won a raw Cinderella Love #28 in about 5.5 at auction. My winning bid of $168. was then considered so astronomically high, the seller offered to ship the book at no additional cost (he was a big time dealer, too). He was so stunned, he wanted to know what my high bid was, and I told him; in the last few seconds I just entered $222., as it was fast and easy. The underbidder was one of our boardies- he probably knows who he is- and between the two of us, and one other boardie, we are largely responsible for kicking off the trend of paying more and more for Bakers on eBay, starting right around 2003. (I can't believe I actually used to refer to the OSPG prior to bidding for them!)

Who knows, maybe someday someone does a movie or a first rate documentary about the guy's life... he certainly seems worthy of it. Ok.... intellectual hat off... let's get back to talkin bout which covers have the best bewbs again... I don't see why the color of his skin should make any difference. As well as male or female. Great art is universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at them with scorn... and moved to the next box. Now that I'm 42 I dig them because the art looks better than what his contemporaries did, and the themes and history behind romance and other genres in general seem cooler to me. That's very similar to how I came to romance comics, too. In the '80's, I was busy filling out my SA Marvel runs... (and I'm glad I did this at that particular time)... but romance comics were largely a joke to me back then. I was aware of Cinderella Love #25, having seen it pictured in the 1980 OS, and even then I wanted one, if only just that one. So, whenever we went to a show, I'd look for Marvels and my girlfriend would buy cheap BA romance. She never got a Baker romance, though... and it must've been because she never found any, not because they were too expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
