Yorick Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 It would probably be easier to list individual issues that are tough rather than runs. Certain issues even within "easy" runs may be tough to find. The last issue of TAR comes to mind... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorick Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 I think at this point, he'd simply be repeating what has been written in the previous 494 pages... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, my thread won't be as riveting as his. Rivets, Planets, get it? Ok, ok, Huh? What? How’d I even end up in this durned thread anyhow?!? As if there's a better thread to be in.

Dr. Love undoubtedly has the actual number. Next act? All the Four Colors? Need a huge amount of space to store all those babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These books are SO hard to find and such a beautiful copy to end it with. As Mitch would say CONG! Thanks, Bob. I guess the next step is to try to get all the other Baker St Johns. I'm fairly close on that one, although I'm short a few Westerns and a couple of horror. Microbia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been sooo busy lately, but I would like to do that at some point, if people can stand to read through it all. Point Five and sacentaur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty happy with the Hawk 10, haven't seen many of these...although there is a low grade copy on Superworld if anyone's dying for one. Really like the Hawk 10. Baker never went the easy way with his St John covers. Across genres, he rarely repeated himself. I like Colletta's Atlas romance covers, but he repeated the "lovers in a tight clinch" cover many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took a while but people finally got wise that all of Baker's best work wasn't just romance. I have quietly been picking up decent copies of these APC for years and am just down to a couple now.

A nice copy of one of my big wants is now in the junk pile! So stoked to cross the last of my Crowns off the list! Good work! Crown is an odd series and tough to assemble them all. I think I'm still missing a couple of the non-Bakers. Won this one very recently. Don't recall ever having seen a copy before. pmpknface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick look and none of the stories scream Baker, although that could be the code changes. Anybody know for sure? The Art of Glamour checklists credits Baker with the story, "Whom Shall I Marry?"
