Looks to me like the artist took some "strong inspiration" from Baker...isn't the gypsy girl swiped from the "Flamingo" strip Baker worked on? Some Jack Kamen lifts in the first story, too.

I think a lot of artists wanted to draw girls like Matt Baker

I guress I need to do more research on the Iger Studio to see how it worked. Maybe there have been ALTER-EGO articles about it. Because I wonder if the artists worked on their own or if it was more like several artists all working on the same pages. I also wonder if Iger was telling them how to draw--imposing a house style. There's like three or four styles of art I recognized when I was looking at these horror stories before. Not that there were only three or four artists, but just those identifiable style choices.

I know that Baker did FLAMINGO as a newspaper strip and that those were reformatted for reprinting in a '90s comic book, but did Flamingo ever appear in any actual classic comics? It does look like she was the model for the Gypsy's Curse.
