All those Men Magazines had spectacular Matt Baker artwork. Many Matt Baker original art is on Private Collection. Myself own maybe 40pgs/flamingo's Baker Originals.

"True Love Pays Dividends" is not on John Benson's list and may therefore not have been a St. John story. Certainly the Alan Class reprints of American fantasy stories in Britain in the 60s mixed their source publishers in the same comic. There's no reason to suppose that this Australian company was obliged to print only St. John material.<br /><br />KBKBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-91685677344824288272010-10-22T22:01:48.803-04:002010-10-22T22:01:48.803-04:00Hi KB,

I have an Outlaws UK edition in B&W. I'm not sure if you are familiar with the romance checklist from Benson's book.<br />I thought you might like to reference your stories here to the originals that were published in the US:<br /><br />http://www.fantagraphics.com/downloads/stjohnchecklist.pdf<br /><br />JoannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-65623251055576882902010-10-21T13:38:57.387-04:002010-10-21T13:38:57.387-04:00Lysdexicuss: I agree.

I just love seeing Baker's art in black and white like this as well. I wish I knew how to get more in this Australian series but there's nothing on eBay UK or Australia.KBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09745482563627003570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502701005570169613.post-22696422934750154702010-10-21T13:14:33.188-04:002010-10-21T13:14:33.188-04:00Holy Crap~!
