Authentic Police Cases #22 - Matt Baker cover

Matt Baker

Authentic Police Cases v1 #22, 1952 - Bursting into a generic office, three gunmen commit a robbery while taking an attractive female hostage. The figures are in close quarters but Matt Baker's composition maintains clarity. A subtle circular path leads the eye clockwise from the bespectacled man to each character's face to the pistol. Though the gun is a relatively small element, the black-on-white contrast adds emphasis. Other artists in this golden age crime comic include Enrico Bagnoli. This is 16 of 28 Authentic Police Cases issues by Baker.
