About the series
A five-issue crime comic series published by St. John in the early 1950s, Fugitives from Justice is most notable for featuring the lush, dynamic artwork of Matt Baker, a pioneering African American artist in the medium. The series offered a mix of hardboiled tales of criminals on the run, with Baker’s expressive figures and moody storytelling giving the genre a distinctive visual flair. Though short-lived, it remains a key example of Baker’s influential work in the crime and romance genres.
