In other news... we're still missing GOING STEADY 13 AND 14. Does anyone have or know somebody who had these 2 issues? Let's get em posted and reorganize this thing into a finished product.

Going Steady 13 is the only Baker book I looked for and never had or was offered a copy of. (shrug)

I've been gone for the month.  Can I see an updated list of what is needed?  I don't have time to go thru every page and make a list...LOL

It's all covered. Just trying to find the time to download all the shots and put them in alpha numeric order.

Fun thread to revisit.  Was the Photo Catalog ever organized differently somewhere, or is this thread the final compilation?

Also, question about Vooda 20.  I know it’s comprised primarily of reprint material from Seven Seas 6 and the art was “re-worked” to reflect a jungle theme (and conform to comics code).  The cover seems to be a swipe of the splash page from Seven Seas 6, but the face is different.  Did Baker do the modifications to the art himself, or was it done by someone else?

Looks like someone swiping Baker on the cover, don't think he had any involvement, but that's just my opinion based on looking at it.  The hands and several other features on the Vooda cover look nothing like Baker to me.

Did Baker do anything at all with Ajax?  

Ajax art was supplied by the Iger shop, where Matt had worked in the 40s.  I have not heard that he came back to work there in the 50s and I don't think it's likely.

 This is a constant topic of debate but I definitely believe that he was at least a contributor to this classic cover. 

 This seems to be the cover that gets the most varied opinions.

I think this is Baker on pencils. The male figure in the foreground is Baker-esque. The woman could be Kamen or Baker.

Hello All, 

I've realized there are multiple websites that have all of Matt Baker's Covers listed in text, but no place to see every cover in one place. So I'm hoping you all can help me put them here in this thread, so that Baker lovers have a Photo Catalog of his covers. 

 

Phantom Lady- 13, 14,15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21

No. Only two or three by Baker, with #13 being uncontested. Most others by unknown artists or Jack Kamen.

So, whatever happened to putting all these covers together in alphabetical order?  Is that going to happen?  If so, I would like to contribute a few better images from what has been posted...not to detract from the original postings, just to help the overall group look better.  hm

I agree, but think Feldstein is a probable cover artist or collaborator on the series as well. To say definitively that Baker only did two or three... well, let's just say you'll get some blowback on that (mostly because that statement lacks proof).
