Uncle Scrooge and Donald Duck in their best imitations of Batman (Scrooge) and Robin (Donald). \u00a0Thanks to Don for creating and signing this great print. \u00a0I also enjoyed talking to comic book dealer <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blbcomics.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Beerbohm<\/a>. \u00a0Bob had some great old Mutt &amp; Jeff original strips (when I say old, I&#8217;m talking World War I vintage old from 1918!) and some other great original comic book art from the Golden Age.<\/p>\n<p>I think the highlight of the day was my acquisition of a copy of <em>Going Steady<\/em> #14. \u00a0Ok, why am I excited \u00a0about getting a copy of a romance comic? \u00a0Well, this issue as published by St. John in 1955 not only has a Matt Baker cover, the entire contents of this book are by Baker. \u00a0Having just posted about the<a href=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/2009\/06\/17\/comics-then-5-comics-first-great-african-american-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\"> life of Baker<\/a>, I thought it was really fitting to find a fairly hard-to-find romance comic drawn entirely by this great Golden Age artist.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_832\" style=\"width: 220px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/goldenagecomics.org\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/19947_4_014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-832\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-832\" title=\"Going Steady #14 (Matt Baker Cover &amp;
