domuhnator Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) This Beauty just came in the mail today from Clink. Im sure it has been discussed before if its "actually" a baker cover, but I didn't feel like reading 400 pages to find out. Regardless CGC says it is so a guess it belongs here .

Looks like Baker to me, inked by Feldstein? ... the only PLs I’m convinced are zero parts Baker are 14,21,22, and 23. 18 I’m iffy on. Thats a great looking 2.5 anyway, and regardless of who gets the cover credit, PL 17 has the weight of immutable comic book history behind it with its SOTI relation. Good grab!

comicnoir Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 It seems like you chose the most violent cover as the best. It is a good one, I won't argue. I would have put 4 above 9. Just an excellent image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I always thought it was a baker cover, But im by no means an expert. I only have a handful of baker covers. I just know there has been some controversy over the cover in the past. Agreed, Even if it was 0% Baker its still a wonderful book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TAT 4 cover, depicting an implied pregnancy, is great. I just love the imagery of TAT 9 a wee bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JvR11 Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 (edited) Hello all I thought it might be nice to share some splash pages from outside of the St. John Baker collection. Anyone have any other splash pages from outside of St. John to share? Lovers 71 "Paris In The Spring" My Own Romance 56 "Another Girl's Man" Love Romances 57 "You Belong To Me" Love Romances 45 "Heart and Soul" I think DukeDog would agree this is one of the top splash pages outside of St. John. Love the illustrations on this one. Edited February 21, 2018 by JvR11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
