One other surprise is that, despite these stories being sprinkled into the Four Color anthology with months passing in between, there's actual forward movement in the storyline. And now that I'm seeing more and more Toth, it's obvious the influence he had on later artists, especially Pat Boyette and Frank Thorne. Toth's art is always a clean, cold glass of water after a spicy meal.īut an extra bonus is how much of this material has been swiped by other artists! Page after page the veteran comics fan will see panels, layouts, lighting effects, rendering, expressions and body language lifted by one familiar artist after another. With as few strokes as possible, Toth builds a world, pulls the reader along a ride and suggests every face, bush, horse or building necessary - but no more. Toth is acknowledged master of action/adventure, accentuated by his mastery of minimalism. But there were several things that jumped out that made this book well worth the 50 bucks.įirst, of course, is the artwork. Not that Toth's work is excellent that's no surprise at all.
