Talk:Matt Baker (artist)

message: How about some info about his death?  As he appears to have only been 37 years old when he died, I would think that something other than "natural causes" might be a possibility?  -Grammaticus Repairo 21:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Unexplained rewrite

message: A single-purpose account anon-IP, pushing an agenda to burnish Matt Baker's reputation, wants to insist that "many scholars" ( as opposed to a few historians — no one he's cited is in academia) call It Rhymes with Lust one of the first graphic novels ... without mentioning the many more who note it was a newsstand publication, with all the postal and other legal technicalities that entails, and was a proto-graphic novel. Sources for that include Ken Quattro at http://www.comicartville.com/archerstjohn.htm ("...in many ways It Rhymes with Lust was the prototype of the modern graphic novel") and the book reviewer for Portland, Oregon's newspaper The Oregonian at  http://blog.oregonlive.com/steveduin/2007/03/it_rhymes_with_lust.html ("...showcases Baker's art even as it celebrates one of the more entertaining chapters in the early history of the graphic novel.").
He has been edit-warring, and I've asked him to bring it here for discussion instead. --Tenebrae (talk) 20:21, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: And historically speaking, calling it one of the first graphic novels, as opposed to an early form of graphic novel, ignores fellow predecessors The Adventures of Obadiah Oldbuck (1828); Frans Masereel's Passionate Journey (1926), Lynd Ward's Gods' Man ( 1929) and other woodcut books; Milt Gross' He Done Her Wrong (1930); Max Ernst's Une Semaine de Bonté (1934); and Charlotte Salomon's Life? or Theater? (1941-43). --Tenebrae (talk) 20:34, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
