ThothAmon Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 The GGA on both covers is first rate but the cleft lip on the shark always throws me. For that reason I prefer # 6. Anyone disagree? The 4 depicted just sold for over $25k at HA and the 6 is in my collection. aardvark88, davidtere, Funnybooks and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayman Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 (edited) #6 by a mile! Great action pose and nice composition with the waterfall over the ship. The 4 just has a clumsy pose that looks odd to me. Regardless of the shark. Edited January 20, 2023 by Jayman ThothAmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its up over 30k with a few weeks left in the auction. On 1/20/2023 at 7:10 AM, Jayman said: #6 by a mile! Great action pose and nice composition with the waterfall over the ship.

That's interesting because I see the complete opposite when I look at both. #4 looks much more realistic, her pose looks perfect like she's just jumped down but has some upward pressure pushing her body and hair up from the water. #6 the left arm is off, and her entire position and body isnt really as tense as it should be if she was holding all that weight. She's holding it like Superman would...just never looked right to me. comicnoir, AJD, Frisco Larson and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine Baker was trying to convey a sense of weightlessness in the water and pulled it off imho davidtere, szav and ThothAmon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttock Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I like 6 for the color scheme. About 8 years ago I was at SDCC looking at John Verzyl's booth and a friend was deliberating over the 9.4 Mile High at $5K. It took every ounce of restraint not to just jump in front of him and take it, which he eventually did.

davidtere Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Fortunately for me, I purchased my 4 and my 6 in the 90's, so I'm not on the prowl. If I had to make a choice of one over the other...I would pick the 4. Dr. Balls and Funnybooks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorick Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I like the colors more than Baker's work on these. His early work doesn't do very much for me, but there are some exceptions. #6 has the better color spread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
