Maybe he's headed for a dip in the pool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to pick up this underappreciated Baker cover recently...one of his oldest too as far as I know and maybe even qualifies as his first romance cover. Cover to cover Baker art inside too...Lorna's assets fully on display in the interior...I'm stoked about this one...hope it doesn't come back trimmed when I submit, I'm not the best judge of that. Never understood why this book isn't more popular among Baker fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Man Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 16 hours ago, sacentaur said: Great cover that has a Lou Fine-ish quality to it. Crandall was young at the time (25 years or so), but what a talent. Also, what a sad life - he became an alcoholic and apparently was working for Pizza Hut as a janitor before suffering a stroke. Wow, I didn't know that. What a sad thing. What was it about working in this industry? Bob Wood, Jack Cole, Wally Wood, Joe Maneely, Matt Baker and probably others died in such tragic ways.

Can you say more about its history? I don't know the backstory, but I have seen the book here and there and wondered about it. How's the interior?

Thank you; was planning to, but did not know that and could have easily otherwise pulled the trigger on an affordable nice looking later copy.
