Maybe even a paste-in of a Baker figure from another source? The art in the story could be Baker. I don't see anything on those two pages that would definitely rule the possibility out for me. Thanks for opining T. Your theory on the soldier maybe correct. And yes, the interiors could still possibly get a Baker designation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't know that to be a possible 'silent' consensus . That one can always be 'got' for a song when it pops up when compared to other St. John Baker romance from what i've noticed.

This is one "Baker" cover I have not yet purchased, and I may never. To me, it looks more like Chuck Miller, who drew eyebrows in such a way that characters appear to be constantly surprised. Miller did quite a bit of "Bakerish" (but substandard) art for St. John. Perhaps this is Baker inking Miller or vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too bad it's locked up in plastic; it has some 41 pages of wonderful Baker art inside. You need a low grade reader of this one. (I do, too, for that matter...)

It's a rarity. Nice one, Danny! That happens sometimes, but also, as the colors mellow over time, due to light exposure, etc., the blues often become closer to purple. I've seen it many times, especially on certain EC covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29dukedog Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Mine is a cherry copy, color-wise. Although, I often wonder if it's possible to square up the spine to it's correct right angle. As you can see, the spine is starting to lean over a little. Does anyone know if that can be fixed somehow? pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
