Description

Matt Baker Flamingo Daily Comic Strip Original Art #61 (Phoenix Features, 1952). Baker is in top form in this episode from the serialized adventures of a heroic Romani dancer. Writer/editor Ruth Roche raved about "the magic touch of Matt Baker's brush," and here is a sample of what she meant. Definitive of the comics' Good Girl Art idiom -- and beyond that, a concise masterpiece of radial composition within the linear confines of a weekday strip. Baker is hailed as a pioneering African-American comics artist in the new-for-2020 book, Invisible Men, from Yoe Books/IDW Publ. Ink over graphite on Bristol board. The image area measures 19" x 5". Very Good condition, with age-toning, spot-staining, and adhesive seams on a lettering repair.
