Out May 8.
Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell continue their comprehensive review of
the life and art of Alex Toth in Genius, Illustrated. Covering the years
from the 1960s to Toth''s poignant death in 2006, this oversized 9.5" v
13" book features artwork and complete stories from Toth''s latter-day
work at Warren, DC Comics, Red Circle, Marvel, and his own creator-owned
properties, plus samples of his animation work for Hanna-Barbera,
Ruby-Spears, and others, as well as sketchbook pages, doodles,
advertising art, and other rarities provided through the cooperation of
Toth''s family and his legion of fans. Two of Toth''s best stories are
reproduced complete from the original artwork: "Burma Skies" and "White
Devil... Yellow Devil." A full-length text biography will chart the path
from Toth''s increasingly-reclusive lifestyle to his touching
re-connection to the world in his final years. Fans of comics, cartoons,
and all-around great artwork revere Alex Toth. See why Genius,
Illustrated - along with its companion volume, 2011''s Genius, Isolated -
are being praised as the definitive examination of the life and art of
The Master, Alex Toth. Volume 2 of a definitive three-volume series.
