Fightin' Marines #3 - Matt Baker art & cover

Matt Baker

Fightin' Marines v1 #3, 1951 - Matt Baker not only draws the entrenched marines on this cover, but the small upper panel as well. Inside, his only contribution is a lighter-sided Canteen Kate story. Wanting to be cast in an upcoming stage performance, Kate's mischief draws the ire of several generals. On the opening panel, the artist poses her similarly to the show's star, suggesting her aspirations. Though best known for his romance work, Baker handles the humor genre quite comfortably. This story was later reprinted in Fightin' Marines #16 and Approved Comics #11. Other artists in this golden age war comic include Gene Colan. This is 3 of 11 Fightin' Marines issues by Baker. /// Baker gallery
