Lee Baker

Lee Baker burst onto the scene in 1968 as part of Marvel's gritty Silver Age war comics landscape, debuting in the very first issue of Capt. Savage and His Leatherneck Raiders — a collector-significant launch crafted by Gary Friedrich and Dick Ayers. Alongside a colorful roster of characters like Captain Simon Savage, Jacques "Frenchy" LaRocque, and Jay Little Bear, Baker was part of a band of distinctively drawn personalities that gave Marvel's war comics their rough-hewn, ensemble charm. With 14 catalog appearances and two key issues to their name, Baker may not be a household name, but they're exactly the kind of deep-cut Silver Age find that reminds you how richly populated Marvel's non-superhero titles really were.
