King Richard and the Crusaders / Four Color v2 #588 - Matt Baker art + Specialty issue

Four Color v2 #588 

King Richard and the Crusaders v1 / Four Color v2 #588, 1954 - Coinciding with the Warner Brothers film of the same name, this movie comic boasts artwork by Matt Baker. At thirty plus pages, "King Richard and the Crusaders" is most likely the longest story of the artist's career. With some exceptions, Baker mostly adheres to the publisher's monotonous six panel grid. An occasional character's face is mildly distorted, but overall the knights are gallant and the maidens lovely (see interior page below). Baker recreates the chivalrous age with great skill, drawing the medieval settings with sensitivity and charm. This was one of only a handful of issues he did for Dell, including work on Lassie. Photo cover. This is 1 of 1 King Richard and the Crusaders issues by Baker. /// key Specialty issue (movie)
