Wow, wow, wow!!!!! Phenomal Matt Baker example! So in love with this piece for so many reasons. The least (and most superficial) of which, is that it's absolutely GORGEOUS! Hard to imagine a better example in existense. And this piece could not have a better caretaker. Would love to be the next in line for it, but I don't imagine it's going anywhere in your lifetime. Thanks for updating the scan. SO much better than the photocopy. Congrats again Jim!

The artwork itself, the aged color of the paper, the white corrective paint. It's the combination of all of those that makes looking at vintage art such a wonderful experience. Theree is absoilutely no replacement for a proper RGB scan! Great stuff, Jim, now consider doing the same for any other piece you may be showing via photocopy!

A friend of mine here in Winnipeg used to own this original. I was very surprised when he let it go.

Matt Baker draws women so well I even want to bang her hair.

The gorgeous refined flow of ink shows the effect that a master of the craft would have on the audience with a pleasing bathing beauty. It opens your eyes to recalibrate the defined standard.

Everything about this is spectacular. From the water spilling over the ship to the dynamic figures.
Pure Golden Age excitement.
Thank you so much for sharing this beauty!

Fantastic. One of the very best original Golden Age good-girl covers that still exists. Congratulations on snagging this absolute masterpiece!

Matt Baker, unbelievable! Baker in all the comics I have seen or read, always delivered incredibly beautiful work. But Baker OA musts be particularly rare. And what an example you have. Congrats.

The scan looks WAY better than the low-res photo. How incredible!
