No one drew dames like Baker, pally! In fact, no one drew anything quite like Baker.

The art of Matt Baker, one of the very first African-American artists in comics, was more than simply beautifully rendered. His art, particularly the women, had a realism and honesty that few others could even approach. Baker was one of the most imitated artists of his time with skilled illustrators like John Forte and Jack Kamen among the best.
