Sqeggs Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Just a note that somewhat bizarrely, GCD, credits the story "Unlucky Love" (actual title "Unlucky in Love") in True-to-Life Romances 16 to Baker, albeit with a "?" I just got a copy and was looking at the story. Definitely not Baker. Doesn't look remotely like his work and, so far as I know, he wasn't doing work for Star Publications in 1953 when that issue was published. Not sure what the person who added the tentative attribution was thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPark Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 I recently got a copy of Ghostly Weird Stories 123 and noticed an interior story looked like Baker art or Iger studio with Baker...pencils? inks? I looked it up on gcd and comicbookplus and found it was a reprint of a story in Jo-Jo 24 where the art was credited to "Matt Baker?" I know this issue is not mentioned in the Art of Glamour but that leads me to wonder, how many other issues feature Baker reprints in something like a horror title where he didn't typically contribute? Or is this just another Iger studio production where Baker had some input but the extent is not clear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.V., Jr. was pretty thorough, I think, in tracking down Baker reprints, although he certainly could have missed some. The Jo-Jo 24 story probably falls into the Iger Shop no-man's land.

Sqeggs Posted October 10, 2018 Share Posted October 10, 2018 Like this one, as well. Presumably by the same artist as the 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like 27 especially. but the marketplace has spoken, nobody's wallet ever thought it looked Baker or even Bakerish 1950's war comics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
