Teen-age Temptations #8 - Matt Baker art & cover

Matt Baker

Teen-age Temptations v1 #8, 1954 - Coerced by a fellow immigrant, a young woman uses her looks to blackmail a wealthy man. At first glance, Matt Baker's work on "Fool's Paradise" is hard to recognize. The scenes are harshly drawn, especially the cover and first two pages. "Masquerade Marriage" chronicles two women who married their newly acquired boyfriends, only to find out it was a sham. This second Baker story stands out for its greater clarity and polish. Its large opening panel is also splendidly drawn and composed. This is 8 of 9 Teen-age Temptations issues by Baker.
