Amazing Ghost Stories #14 - Matt Baker Cover Art

 

A friend of mine owns a used book store/comic shop in Durham, North Carolina called Books Do Furnish A Room. I listed this comic on eBay for him a couple of days ago. The bidding quickly took it to $1026. We were surprised. He bought it years ago because he likes the pre-code horror. The cover was nice but he wanted to read the stories inside. The cover is actually beautiful work by Matt Baker. Baker was one of the first African-Americans to find any success in the comic book field. That and the fact he draws such beautiful women are a couple of the reasons this comic attractive to comic book lovers, and, specifically, comic book speculators. I like it because it is damn beautiful work. Enjoy.
