My Own Romance #73 - Jack Kirby art & cover, non-attributed Matt Baker art

Jack Kirby

My Own Romance v1 #73, 1960 - Is my husband-to-be cheating on me? Jack Kirby's tale of one woman's suspicions is a common one, but his cover and story art does little to enhance it. Matt Baker fares a little better, illustrating a couple's dilemma of family differences in wealth. Not attributed in comic book guides, this Baker effort is admittedly not among his better efforts. One bright spot is the opening splash, displaying a bold layout and even more superb figure drawing. Other artists in this silver age comic include Jay Scott Pike. This is 13 of 14 My Own Romance issues by Baker and 2 of 5 My Own Romance issues by Kirby.
