Alex Toth….

I was introduced to Alex Toth at a very early age, and the funny thing is I didn’t even know it was Toth! I was a cartoon junkie in my youth (secretly I still am…) I watched everything that came on from Superfriends to Jonny Quest to Space Ghost, and the list goes on and on. Well unbekongst to me at that age was that Alex Toth was responsible for a lot of what I was watching. Toth is a certified genius, and everytime I see his work I just tend to stare at it and take in what I am viewing. There have been a number of great books that have come out about the Life and Art of Alex Toth, and I will show you the 4 that I picked up.
