RareHighGrade Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 You get everything from "reefer smoking", brothels, to wayward girls. Not to mention men throwing women off of moving trains: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JvR11 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Just listed a couple of Baker romances low grade in case anyone is interested Wartime Romances 13 and Diary Secrets 15. Had the opportunity to upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB-Gun Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 A few more Bakers attached. My apologies for using scans made by someone else. I think this is from a link recommended by an article written by someone on board. bb Kate was also featured in the Fighting Marines. The early St. Johns issues are too big for Golden age boxes and have to go in the magazine boxes. I will dig those marines out if I can remember. This low resolution scan is one of my favorite covers. And I found another good scan of an all Baker issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blind Owl Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Unfortunately I don't own this one but the scan looks good. bb I've been trying to find a decent copy of this issue for years now!!! Just Fabulous!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JvR11 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 I recently was able to get the elusive TLP 11. Not quite as nice as Roy's but pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrooge Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Baker was awesome, no doubt... And he never got to draw attractive african-american women, at least for St John ... I some times wonder (and can of course never succeed putting myself in that situation) if that was ever a source of frustration. I've got to go back and look at the Alter Ego focusing on Baker to see if that issue was addressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Black Hand ® Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I don't want to come across as a snob...but there is no age like the Golden Age. Especially for covers. I may have grew up reading early Silver age comics, but their cover art just doesn't come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JvR11 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 You would have thought he would have done artwork for Negro Romances. There was a mention he may have done one of the covers but I don't think it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have grew up reading early Silver age comics, but their cover art just doesn't come close. Snob Every age had its turkeys and glorious covers ... but, in the final analysis, I, like you, find more covers from the GA I like than any other age ... except maybe from the Modern Age. I know I know, anathema you'll say ... but some of the graphism and compositions today are really winning with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
