Going Steady #13 - Matt Baker cover & reprints

Matt Baker

Going Steady v1 #13, 1955 - Matt Baker places two couples within a pastoral scene, contrasting against the city skyline in the distance. The tree bends to accommodate two lovers, presumably taking a break from their studies (note the books). The leaves mostly frame the masthead, leading the eye from the branches down toward the young couple. The artist's simple, yet gentle composition matches the relaxing tone of the scene. Baker's only tale inside, "I Was a Willy-Nilly Filly", first debuted as "They Said I Was a Bad Influence" in Teen-Age Diary Secrets #7. Other artists in this golden age romance comic include Ric Estrada. This is 4 of 5 Going Steady issues by Baker.
