Sqeggs Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Just won this one. Not one of my favorite Baker Western covers, but I guess I'm being drawn into collecting all his St John work, not just his romance. sagii and szav 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post szav Posted May 1, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 1, 2018 And...as promised, just got back my cheap-o Terrycon pickups here. Not only is this the highest graded copy (though I like the sqeggs copy more based on the better colors), it also contains the all important first comic book appearance of Wakanda...predates Fantastic Four 52 by 17 years.... comicjack, Yorick, Sqeggs and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan. Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Is anyone familiar with this: https://www.amazon.com/Noir-Matt-Baker-2/dp/0692709517/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525222850&sr=1-1&keywords=matt+baker+noir The product description isn't very, umm, descriptive. Is it just reprints? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it just reprints? I don't think there's any "new" Baker material that hasn't seen print, so I imagine it is all "reprints". The quality seems pretty low, but I do not have a copy to say for certain. I believe most of his St John work is public domain, so there are certainly hacks out there who will steal Digital Comic Museum scans and reprint them. I do have a copy of Romance Without Tears, and the quality is fantastic. If you are a Baker fan, that one is a must have. https://www.amazon.com/Romance-Without-Tears-Comics-Twist/dp/156097558X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this Noir of Matt Baker book just another in a long line of reprinted material or is there something unique about this publication (for example, biographical materials, art criticisms, etc) that makes it work having? I read The Art of Glamour, which is a retrospective, and it was great so I'm eager for more material like that. Pursuant to this train of thought, it appears that there are a few different reprints of It Rhymes with Lust out there now. Does anyone have any feelings on which is the best?

Yorick Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 Not going to be "high" grade, but with only four copies on the census I figured I'd sent it in. I'll post the grade when it returns. Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
