Baker

Born in the pages of Military Comics #1 in 1941, Baker is a Golden Age character with roots reaching back to the very birth of American wartime comics — debuting in a landmark issue brought to life by the legendary creative team of Will Eisner, Bob Powell, and Chuck Cuidera. That debut issue carries key-issue status among collectors, and it's easy to see why: Military Comics #1 is hallowed ground, and Baker shares its pages with some memorable company, including Blackhawk and a cast of wartime figures that defined the era. What's remarkable is the staying power — from 1941 all the way through 2024, Baker's appearances have continued to surface in collections like America at War: The Best of DC War Comics and a facsimile reprint of that historic first issue, a testament to the enduring appeal of Golden Age comics done right. For collectors and history buffs alike, any character woven into the fabric of that original Eisner-era wartime universe is absolutely worth a closer look.
