I believe the great Matt Baker did the honors for #20 here:

I believe the great Matt Baker did the honors for #20 here:

Sorry to say "No." I did a blog and checklist for Rulah some years back and I wanted to attribute some of the art to Matt Baker, but when I ran down the sources, I discovered that it's not likely that Baker did any of the art for Rulah. He worked in the Iger shop that did all the artwork for Rulah, but he wasn't the artist--although some of the other Iger artists might have tried to ape his style. But the cover for issue 20 isn't even a very good version of what Matt Baker was doing at the time--it's more in the style of Jack Kamen and I wouldn't even give him the credit for that cover.

RULAH actually began as ZOOT COMICS, with a very different kind of content in the first six issues before Rulah flew into the series in issue 7. There were two different issue 13s and two different issue 14s. And then issue 17 it became RULAH. With issue 28, it became I LOVED REAL CONFESSION STORIES and then with the 33rd issue it became COLOSSAL FEATURES MAGAZINE, finally dying after three issues of that.

Yeah, despite seeing Baker credited for the cover on numerous sites, I still wasn't sure it was him. Guess I was right to have been skeptical. Thanks, Jim!
