His "King David" and "I Die at Midnight" were both released in the past couple of years - he hasn't disappeared - he's just concentrating his efforts. King David has to be one of the most brutal, and comedic, retellings of the David story.

I've been a fan since before Cowboy Wally - when he illustrated the Shadow comic series in the late eighties-early nineties - it was banned before it could be completed but it was soooo wonderfull dark. And funny. Which is what I like about Baker - dark, but funny.
