29dukedog Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 We've discussed this in the past... but I have a feeling a few newer Baker fans have joined the party recently, so... Here's another cover that often gets credit for being a Baker; Secrets of Love and Marriage Vol.2 No.1, Charlton, Aug., 1956. It's not him, but at least this one's an honest mistake, since it's a direct swipe of a panel Baker did draw, in Teen-Age Temptations #8, June 1954 (two years earlier). The Charlton cover is probably by "Spoon" Giordano (or, as Andy calls him, Duck Giordano)... SuperGrover and tabcom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe he just kept listing the same copy over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sqeggs Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I can't seem to find a scan of my copy, but there's another Charlton romance book where Giordano rips off the cover to TAR 43. Edited: Found a scan. Not sure if this is my copy or not. Edited October 3, 2017 by Sqeggs szucchini 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you dig through the pile and find out that this is your copy it must be something like finding a 20$ bill in the pocket of a jacket you haven't worn in years. Or in the case of this book would it be more like a 5$ bill? If only I had an extra copy of TAR 43 in there somewhere! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29dukedog Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 (edited) I knew there was at least one other example of Giordano borrowing from Baker. Brides in Love #3, Charlton, Apr., 1957, bears more than a passing resemblance to the first panel of this page from Teen-Age Romances #19, Dec., 1951. (Now this panel made for a pretty good cover.) (Both are borrowed from the DCM): Edited October 3, 2017 by 29dukedog comicnoir and tabcom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like it was an Iger studio collaboration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we old timers can't see very good either, cause the bottom left of the pic says "talesofsuspense"...Now, why would that be on your pic if it were your copy?
