Crime Reporter #2 - Matt Baker cover

Matt Baker

Crime Reporter v1 #2, 1948 - With a gunman in pursuit, a young actress flees from her dressing room. Matt Baker leans the figures left and right, creating diagonal lines of action. The star on the door identifies her profession (curiously placed on the inside), while the overturned chair in the background suggests chaos. No stranger to cheesecake poses, Baker nonetheless does it more artfully than most. Other artists in this golden age crime comic include Paul Gattuso. This is 1 of 2 Crime Reporter issues by Baker.
