All too Beautiful

Like Batman, Black Canary is a character for which Toth is famous for defining in very few pages. This two part 16 page story from Adventure Comics has Toth down as a definitive Black Canary artist.
For me he also manages to to completely nail Green Arrow in either one of the two panels below. He just brought some swashbuckling Errol Flynn love to it and there you go. I assume this is also what lent to Trevor Von Eeden's great version of the character in the 80s Green Arrow mini.


Also, how amazing is penultimate panel below...!?!?!?

And below, Photoshopped into black and white to highlight the amazing composition of the page...

God Bless Photoshop

A beautiful splash from a not too often seen strip, The Mask Of The Red Fox.
The line work on Cain's clothes is amazing. The more you look at Toth it's interesting to note how much like Pratt it is at times.

I wish They All Could Be Alex Toth

How Toth managed to achieve grace on evey panel of every page and still never be happy is unbelieveable.

Splash from a great Robert Kanigher story...

Had to get rid of the clutter on the original published version of this even though there're probably lines missing.
Most unecessary blurb I've ever seen. As if someone would see that cover...be on the fence "should I, shouldn't I" and then realise "Oh my God "Thrilling Adventure Stories", "Final Three Stories", now I've gotta have it".

Toth Splash 1

As a creative diversion from a nice, good job that doesn't let me flex any creative muscles, I'm retouching my Toth collection page by page.
I'll paste the splash of each strip as I do it and here's the first.
Enjoy
