Fight Comics #76 (CGC 9.0 with off-white to white pages) $1200:  SOLD!  Casablanca.

A gorgeous Tiger Girl highlights this coveted 1951 Good Girl Art Fight Comics cover by Maurice Whitman.

I can’t tell if the poacher’s wild expression is from being over-powered by Tiger Girl or because he senses the dislodged hypodermic needle is heading for his back.

The color palette for this cover is just stunning- Tiger Girls’ outfit and golden mane, the red shirt and that incredible purple baboon.

The structure and centering are outstanding. No writing marks or date stamps to detract from this spectacular cover.

A difficult book to come by especially in this grade. Only 1 grades higher and only 7 in the census.

Pictorial Romances #20 (CGC 4.5 with cream to off-white pages) $1100:  SOLD!  Casablanca!

This is a relist. Another remarkable St. John Baker cover. They don’t get much prettier than this. A colorful 16-page story, “Roadhouse Sparrow”, by Dana Dutch with Baker’s artwork highlight this 100-page beauty. A 4.5 book with a 6.5 looking cover.

Another scarce Baker book with only 10 in the census. Tough to own in any grade with the highest grade 6.5.

A 6.0 sold on Heritage in July 2018 for $1680.

Diary Secrets #30 (CGC 4.5 with cream to off-white pages) $2800:  SOLD!  Comcav.

I don’t get this cover. A truly larger than life 30-foot winsome beauty being looked upon by 4 dudes like they could care less. Now if I was staring at a 30-foot blond bombshell my jaw would be on the floor and I would be sweating bullets. Maybe this was Baker’s way of snubbing the Comics Code Authority. 

When I look at this cover I don’t even see the guys. I just see that beautiful woman. Definitely one of Baker’s more unusual covers.

Highest graded with only 9 in the census. Final issue of the title. I’m probably the only one crazy enough to spend this much on a 4.5. It’s okay if no one else is that crazy.
