BitterOldMan Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Seller is big time OA dealer Mike Burkey. GCD says Baker pencils and Kamen inks, so Mike did not make it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MBFan Posted May 21, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2020 GCD got this one wrong. The Art of Glamour is probably the most accurate Baker checklist, and rightfully, no issues of Love & Marriage are listed. This art is too stiff to have come from either Baker or Kamen at this point in time. In the last panel it looks like someone did a halfway decent job of tracing a Baker female face from another source, but overall, the body positions are awkward, and the men's faces in particular are far from Baker style.

comicnoir Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I just got my Mike Burkey email proclaiming those "Baker" pages. Interesting to see if they move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's hard to know where that info came from. The GCD attributions for Baker that I trust are the ones by Jim V., Jr., who, of course, also did the checklist for The Art of Glamour. Admittedly, that does make my reasoning a bit circular. In any, event I share the skepticism that these pages have any work by Baker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From one reprobate to another, You're welcome...and congrats! Would have pushed you a bit higher but paying the highest graded premium for a 9.0 makes me nervous. Dunno what else is out there raw still. Long term though I think 2k for a book like this may end up looking like a bargain.

Yorick Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Another black and white reprint found its way into my mailbox yesterday. Originally printed in color for Love Romances 57. This coverless copy unfortunately is missing the last page of story art for the Baker portion (which would have been printed on the inside of the back cover). comicnoir and Miamiknight3434 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
