JollyComics Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Does this book's title of Matt Baker: the Art of Glamour show all of his works? I prefer to see all pictures of his works so I will buy it. Edited July 16, 2018 by JollyComics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to see all pictures of his works so I will buy it. The Art of Glamour contains a lot of great Matt Baker artwork, but still only a small fraction of his output. Regardless, if you like Baker at all, you should own this book. IIRC, after the book was pretty much done and ready for the printer, Shaun Clancy obtained an interview with one of Matt Baker's true friends Frank Giusto, who provided personal sketches that Matt had done for him. I think that chapter is the best in the book. Also, The Art of Glamour features the most accurate and complete checklist of Baker's professional work. It gets a few things wrong, but has been much more reliable than Overstreet, which has in the past misattributed Baker artwork. Sqeggs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sacentaur Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 There were a few Bakers at Torpedo Con (next to LAX) yesterday, mostly lower grade with a few mids. Most didn't sell as far as I could tell, so they should be at SDCC. The best Baker book at the show, a tall TAR, was bought by boardie who should be posting it soon. I managed only an APC 18 from Dale Roberts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Confessions, Romances, Secrets and Temptations by John Benson, is a book about Archer St. John and his stable of artists and creators featuring Baker. Also Romance Without Tears also by Benson, has a nice cover gallery of Baker covers. SuperGrover, Sqeggs and szav 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sqeggs Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 By slabbing this copy, I brought the census count up from zero to one. Unfortunately, like most recently graded books, it suffers from Newton Rings, as can be clearly seen in the logo. comicnoir, sagii, 1950's war comics and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great cover (and not even dominated by a Baker babe)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
