Teen-age Romances v1 #25, 1952 - Although titled "I Was a Child Bride", the story reveals the main character's age as 20 years old. The title seems especially odd since women married earlier during this era. On page three, when a doctor notifies her of her pregnancy, she responds "aren't I too young to have a baby?". I suspect censors may have increased the character's age just before publication. Regardless,
Matt Baker draws a competent cover and even better lead feature. The figure drawing is lithe and graceful throughout. His best work occurs on the opening panel's wedding scene and the wife's teen-age cavorting on page 4. This story was later reprinted in
Teen-age Romances #44. Another Baker tale, "Caught in a Triangle at a Resort Hotel", was first printed in Teen-Age Diary Secrets #7 (originally titled “Too Busy For Kisses”). Other artists in this golden age comic include Lily Renee. This is 25 of 45
