Teen-age Temptations #7 - Matt Baker art & cover

 Matt Baker

Teen-age Temptations v1 #7, 1954 - In "No Hiding Place", Marla finds a small town to restart her life, only to be blackmailed about her sordid past. Matt Baker's cover is interestingly composed, with its strong diagonal emphasis. His story art, unfortunately, is less impressive. The layouts are conservative and his pencils are mostly hidden by Jim Mooney's inks. The opening splash is quite frankly unrecognizable. "I Married a Bigamist" features small town girl Marla, who runs off to wed a salesman that's already married. Baker's artwork employs varied panel shapes and compositions. His thoughtfully drawn settings and characters make this tale the standout of the entire issue. This golden age romance comic was published by St. John. This is 7 of 9 Teen-age Temptations issues by Baker.
