jimjum12 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I recently got this from Bob...… one of the keepers. It has a story in it that's attributed to Bill La Cava, but it sure looks like Matt Baker to me.Quite a few panels just scream Baker. Either way, I'm just not seeing La Cava on this one.

Dr. Love Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Nah, that's Baker for sure. Art of Glamour lists it, but on this one no book is needed, eh? One of his best splashes for Atlas, too. Atlas Tales shows Bill LaCava as doing all war/suspense, and then this one romance story? I don't think so! 1950's war comics and Sqeggs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too..... and La Cava's style is so different. Those Atlas Tales guys are usually on the money.... I'm betting this was a clerical error or something. Every now and then I find an uncredited Baker in this time frame of Atlas.... certainly a treat. I'm real happy with it, Bob called it a 6.5, but it seems every bit of that. The only thing better than a Pike sandwiched between two Collettas is a Baker sandwiched between two Collettas This one doesn't seem to have Colletta inks either. I also don't think he inked MOR 47.

In a way, it's your fault I even collect Atlas romance. When you were putting together your runs of every Marvel made from 1957 on, you used to periodically post lists of what you still needed.... the hard to find stuff. Naturally there was a lot of Romance, War, and Westerns. I love a challenge so started trying to find them at shows to help out. My friend Gene used to have 4 or 5 short boxes of Atlas with dozens of fairly sharp Romance …. I was slowly drawn in. Those books are long gone now, with few replacements in sight ,,,,, can't find much on eBay even.... other than the overgraded and overpriced stuff that just sits and sits. Metro is wiped out, Worldwide is wiped out, no one really has any except maybe Harley and Terry, both of whom I never see any more.

GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) No question on the interiors, but (Colleta's?) inks are strong on the cover, but yes, there are strong Baker hallmarks standing out from under. I will have to spring for a copy of 'Art of Glamour' as i see many updates and confirmations have been made that weren't 'decided' on for the 'Alter Ego #47' piece. Speaking of which, i got back last night in time to catch the opening books on the CC auction. I think there was an unconfirmed on the label Baker cover (or two) 'hidden' in those 'My Own Romance' lots. They went real cheap, even with a little back and forth bidding war on the #65 (something going on with that one i don't know about)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missed that CC romance lot. The Art of Glamour says the "I Met My Love Again" story in MOR 65 is by "Baker and/or Vince Colletta?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
