Frontier Western #9 - Matt Baker art

Frontier Western #9

Frontier Western v1 #9, 1957 - Matt Baker's western stories were surprisingly rugged but artistically sensitive. In this case, most of his panels are well executed but a few seem uncharacteristically sloppy. The face of the foreground cowboy on the opening panel puts the eyes too close to the profile. The second panel of page three depicts a fistfight, but the hero's arm is poorly foreshortened. The entire page seems lacking in definition compared to the rest of the tale, nearly suggesting another hand. While not a tragedy, Baker certainly has better efforts within the western genre. This is number 2 of 3 Frontier Western issues by Baker. /// Baker gallery
