But Rick, this is a poll about BAKER books - if questionable (and they certainly are), then that hurts the ranking in my view.

I'm not a GGA guy per se, but Baker's romance covers (which we know are by Baker) are just better IMHO.

TAR 14 at #13, ouch...

TAR 14 was at 18 for me- I never liked it. (shrug)

PL 17 ranks high on most everyone's list of GGA covers and would almost certainly land at #1 if we took a poll.  Having talked with a number of GGA collectors over the years I can comfortably say it's not everyone's #1.  Baker or not, the female figure is not as well drawn as on other covers and not everyone likes that particular pornstar pose/body over other depictions of female beauty.2c

I agree with this.  I've never liked it.  Even if we were certain that Baker penciled the whole thing and did his own inking, I still would have put it near the bottom.  The most interesting thing about this book to me is the Wertham/SOTI connection.

(Abstruse comment: What would she look like without the white in the hair? Is there a copy known to exist with black color touch ... :boo:)

When I was a kid in the 1960s, a woman who lived downstairs from us had that sort of white streak in her hair.  It was the style apparently, although it always struck me as unappealing -- not as unappealing as the cover to PL 17, though. :insane:

I'm with you on this one.  Often singled out as one of his best efforts, but I don't see it.
