Wild Boy of the Congo #14 - Matt Baker cover

Matt Baker

Wild Boy of the Congo v1 #14, 1955 - An all too common theme for jungle covers, the title character saves a damsel in distress from a stampeding herd. Although the scene is drawn from a straightforward bird's eye view, Matt Baker opts for minimal foreshortening and a more complete rendition of the main figures. The drawing nicely contrasts the graceful rescue against the chaotic background below. Other artists in this golden age comic include Ross Andru. This is 4 of 5 Wild Boy of the Congo issues by Baker.
