Thank you for this checklist. I have to admit I was uneducated on Matt Baker before I started reading this site. But since then I have come to really appreciate and admire a lot of Baker's work. Thanks for a great site.

Ted F said...

The artist checklists will continue to expand as new posts go up. Thanks for your comment. Please let other comic book art fans know about this site and visit often.

Thank you SO MUCH for this list and better yet your wonderful descriptions.

Why no Seven Seas covers?

Ted Ignacio @ Pencil Ink said...

The high point of Baker's work appeared in the 1950s, which I'm currently focusing on. Needless to say, my goal is to include Baker's entire comics output, as well as 24 other artists. Thanks for the encouragement.

Justin Vandemark said...

Wow! I found this site searching for Bernie Wrightson art, but now I am discovering excellent artists like Baker and becoming an instant fan. Thank you!

There is also The Saint #4 from Avon, 1948. Matt Baker cover.
