The More Than Complete South Sea Girl: Gwandanaland Comics #1882-HC: Matt Baker's Island Lady In All Her Adventures
amazon.com:
SOUTH SEA GIRL, illustrated by the legendary Matt Baker, is not only a great example of 1940s good-girl adventure comics, but an example of how publishers made the most out of a good story. SOUTH SEA GIRL only had six original stories (of which we have four for you in this collection), but were re-worked and redesigned to be used in other publications, as other characters. This collection includes alternative versions of SOUTH SEA GIRL stories, so the modern reader can see how Baker's women were utilized to their maximum value.
Let's face it – who but Gwandanaland Comics could give you 10 stories from a 6-story series???
Authentic Police Cases: A Matt Baker Album: Gwandanaland Comics #2525-HC: Thrilling Crime Stories and Cover by the Golden Age Master
amazon.com:
Matt Baker (1921-1959) was the first successful African-American comic book artist in America, and famous for his unique style. Baker worked in many genres, most famous for his portrayal of Phantom Lady, Canteen Kate, Sky Girl, and other beautiful female characters. Not all women are heroes, though – so when Baker put his pen to the crime comics, not only did we get action-packed stories featuring some of the hardened male criminals of the day, but also those femme fatales, those molls, and those female criminal masterminds..... along with some tragic innocent women in the wrong place at the wrong time. AUTHENTIC POLICE CASES (St. John / 38 Issues / 1948-1955) was a great place to show the Baker mastery. He began drawing his 28 covers with issue #6, and 11 stories beginning with #10, before returning to exclusively covers after #18. This is his complete album from the exciting crime series, collected together for the first time – ever!
