Jumbo Comics #69 is widely considered as containing the first published comic book artwork from legendary artist Matt Baker. An artist whose name has become synonymous with beautiful women in comic book art, this issue would contain two stories that Baker contributed to, Sheena and Sky Girl.
While Baker's contributions to the iconic jungle girl Sheena would be brief, Sky Girl, whose adventures had started the prior issue in Jumbo Comics #68, would be a character that he would quickly make his own. Baker would draw 60 Sky Girl stories for Jumbo Comics 1944-1948, and the feature is essential to understanding the evolution of the artist's style in his early years.
In fact, Baker was the first comic artist who had the courage to draw a beautiful pair of legs in an unaesthetic if natural way to increase the general humorous effect. Needless to say, he was hugely successful. Baker's last 'Sky Girl' story appeared in the August 1948 issue of Jumbo. Matt Baker contributed to over 150 stories for Fiction House according to current GCD, and his work on Sky Girl helped put him on the map early in his career.
