Teen-age Romances #9 - Matt Baker art & cover, Joe Kubert art + Specialty issue

Matt Baker

Teen-age Romances v1 #9, 1950 - Matt Baker contributes two tales in this issue: a materialistic girl convinces men to buy her nice things and a cheerleader plays the field with little thought to the consequences. Both are sumptuously drawn with his typical smooth, flowing lines. Baker also does a large illustration of similar quality for the issue's sole text story. A bit less impressive is Joe Kubert's work on "Magnificent Deception", a tale of a rising starlet torn between two different men. His inking only brings marginal improvement to the pencils. All four stories (which were later reprinted in Diary Secrets #17) are packaged within an attractive Baker cover. See the brown-haired woman's inadvertently sexual comment to get a chuckle. Other artists in this comic include Hy Rosen. This is 9 of 42 Teen-age Romances issues by Baker and 1 of 1 Teen-age Romances issues by Kubert. /// Specialty issue (innuendo cover)
