Baker’s old friend, film director Reginald Hudlin – who worked with Baker and Aaron MacGruder of the Boondocks cartoon series to create “Birth of Nation” – recently became the head of entertainment at BET, and Baker says they are planning a television animation project.
Baker's “Nat Turner” is certainly a welcome addition to the many historical fiction and non-fiction books that offer background, context and emotional vividness to our understanding of Nat Turner's life as well as the African American slavery experience.

 Paul Gravett: Article - Kyle Baker
Baker created the perfect vehicle to lampoon the media, plunging him into idiotic kiddies' shows, embarrassing late-night chat shows, Foreign Legion and monster movies and a documentary on the making of an inept version of Hamlet.
Originally pitched by Baker as a car-chase murder mystery, he developed Why I Hate Saturn into a wry character-driven comedy by focussing on two very different twenty-something sisters, one a lush, hard-drinking New York dame, the other a dreamer convinced, like Kevin Spacey in K-Pax, that she's come from outer space (hence the title).
As the latest softwares came in, Baker had been among the first to use them, making a font from his hand-lettering for Saturn, and now on You Are Here pushing all the buttons to generate eye-popping colour artwork and special effects, if sometimes overegging the cake a bit.

Baker has a variety of one-panel gag strips that are either reprints of his magazine work or in the same vein, ranging from a political cartoon to a goof on a familiar fairy tales to more random but equally funny subject matter.
Baker's shots are often very much shooting fish in a barrel, but there's a definite wit, perceptiveness and imagination that makes most of the gags hit right where they need to.
Baker's storytelling skills here are really put to the test, as much of this book is made up of strips or panel gags that rely entirely on the art.

Price: $14.95 US Kyle Baker returns with another collection of one-off cartoons, short stories and plenty more tales of his own life in "The Bakers" and the result is a collection that is just a little bit stronger than the enjoyable first volume of Cartoonist.
Baker brings a sharp and observant wit to these pages, but he does so in a way that is gently comforting rather than abrasive, a perfect mix of intelligence and, so surprising in these modern times, optimism.
What strikes me most about The Bakers is not just the gags, but the way that Baker delivers them, combining some legitimately funny gags with a palpable love for his wife and children that makes the whole thing seem sweet and touching.

 Nat Turner by Kyle Baker
VARIETY.COM ON NAT TURNER:Nat Turner #1, by Kyle Baker (Kyle Baker Publishing, 48 pages, bandw, $3) is the first of four issues devoted to the true tale of the slave who led a rebellion in 1831 Virginia.
Baker begins his nearly silent story (only one page has any text to read — a short entry from the journal of a slave ship captain) with a kind of action setpiece as a slaving party in Africa captures villagers to be sent to American shores.
Baker’s storytelling is magnificent and he really lets the story breathe, rarely using more than three panels per page and designing lots of white space to give the book a unique, non-comicbooky look.

Baker has superior control and great stuff, and all his coaches say he pitches like a 10 year vet.
Baker is two years older and more polished; I just think Davies will be the better pitcher when its all said and done.
If Baker (who is older) was pitching in a pennent race and Davies was sitting pretty down in AA/AAA people would be hyping him just bc he had the nicer numbers and would ignore the context.

 One-Man Show - Los Angeles CityBeat
It was Baker’s inability to secure a syndication deal for the Cowboy Wally strip that led him to render the concept as a graphic novel, but the sheer range of his subsequent books is what led him to brand the material by placing his name above the titles, then venture into the world of self-publishing.
Baker’s other current major project, however, couldn’t be more different in either artistic style or subject matter.
Baker decided to render the story in an exclusively fl-and-white, almost impressionistic style with minimal text — primarily taken from The Confessions of Nat Turner, an 1831 “as-told-to” account by Boston-based physician Thomas Ruffin Gray (William Styron wrote a 1968 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel with the same title).

 AltWeeklies.com: Books: Columbus Alive: Original Work: Baker On Baker
Reading a Baker book is like seeing the whole history of animation (or at least the highlights) distilled into a few well-chosen lines.
Baker’s art here leans toward the representational, and the whole story is silent, all of the potent emotions coming from the characters’ expressions, and all of the action told in the juxtaposition of the many fl and white images.
That Baker can make the comic so gut-wrenchingly compelling without relying on words is a testament to his skills as an artist and storyteller and, in larger part, a result of vividly telling a story as operatically tragic as that of the slave trade.
