Sqeggs Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Couldn't resist this one. Only copy on the census. Has one of those unfortunate St. John miscuts, otherwise I think it would have graded significantly higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBFan Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Here's a weird St. John digest. It appears to have a Baker story inside. Is this a Baker cover? Only one I've ever seen. Haven't seen that one before, so I did some poking around. Grand Comics Database has it listed with the cover and a majority of the stories as being by Matt Baker. http://www.comics.org/issue/319820/ Interesting. First one I've seen. Added: Just looking at the checklist in The Art of Glamour and they don't list it. Wow. Never have seen this one before! I believe that is Baker. At a minimum, he contributed some pencils to that cover in my opinion. I finally got a copy of this item, and although I agree that Matt Baker's hand is apparent in the cover art, I do not believe he does any art inside. See my pics below. The girl in the last one looks like a distorted version of a Baker girl, as if someone was doing a poor job of copying him. What do you think?

Sqeggs Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Mel, I think that's a pretty fair assessment: Someone who had some of Baker's work in front of him and was following it as closely as he could. To be honest, I wouldn't stake my life on Baker having done the cover either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBFan Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I think both the cowboy and the horse on the cover have the Baker wild-eyed look seen elsewhere, but the simplicity makes me think that Matt probably knocked it out quickly while breezing through the office one day. This book is another example of St. John experimenting with the comic book format. At 10 cents each, he was probably keeping costs low and didn't spring for a fully-detailed cover.

Sqeggs Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Even if we can never pin down the artist, it's certainly an interesting book and a nice pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
