Pictorial Romances v1 #15, 1952 - Suspecting her husband of ruining her father, a young bride plans her revenge through a bogus oil field investment. Past the mundane opening panel, Matt Baker takes the opportunity to feature the beautiful main character in key panels. As usual, his figure drawings gush with elegance and fashion sense. Dialogue is heavy on a few pages, but doesn't seem to undermine the artwork. Baker's cover, rife with phallic symbols, meets expectations. Other artists in this golden age comic include Lily Renee. This is 12 of 21 Pictorial Romances issues by Baker.

Yeah that carafe seems to be a recurring motif. Interesting placement on this cover, Fred Wertham would have noted.
