MATT BAKER

Matt Baker (10 December 1921 - 11 August 1959, USA) is best known for his romance and 'good girl' comics. He is considered a master in drawing the female form. Baker started his career in 1944 working for Fox, Fiction House ('Tiger Girl' and 'Sky Girl') and Atlas. He is mostly remembered for his work on the 'Phantom Lady' series. He has also done the daily 'Flamingo' strip with Ralph Rutte. Unfortunately, his career ended abruptly in 1959, when he died at the young age of 37. He was one of America's first major black cartoonists.
