When I saw her eyes my heart went pitter pat. Such a beautiful job by Heshka and that was a nice touch with the blue eyes too. CL #25 was a strong #1 on my list. sacentaur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great point. Baker has risen in prominence tremendously due to his outstanding St. John romance work but it also seems like there is a new found appreciation for his good girl art work in Seven Seas as reflected in the poll. Of course, Baker did great crime and western cover work as well as the occasional horror cover. Curious if folks will start turning a bit more to collecting his great interior work for Fiction House and what I suspect are a few Baker covers in that run.

tabcom Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Now that the poll is posted. I think it may be a good idea to rename the thread and open up the flood gates. ALL-BAKER COMICS Ricksneatstuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N e r V Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I always thought it looked more like one of his Jane Russell swipes. Ricksneatstuff, tabcom and Get Marwood & I 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Nice run of Amazing Ghost Stories, tabcom. But it needs to be preceded by something... tabcom and szucchini 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Some great Wild Boy covers, too, even though only one of them by Baker has a female on the cover. tabcom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Baker did quite a few romance stories for Atlas. Those not inked by Colletta are every bit as good as his best work for St. John. From Love Romances #45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Towards the end of his career he also did many illustrations for various men's magazines. This is one from Nugget #1... (Anyone else wanna jump in here too?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N e r V Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Probably not on anyone's list but I've got a few of these under my belt now. I really like this cover. The work on the female overrides any other shortcomings it might have. tabcom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
