It's got all the things Toth loves -- the 1930s, offshore gambling gangsters, a complicated mystery, and a hero worth drawing. And, amazingly enough, as Our Hero tells it, he was a reject. True! It's "The Vanguard", and even if you've read it before you've never seen it like this, with notes from The Man himself, so read on...
You read it here first! We broke comics history with the Annotated Toth, now Toth ventures into new realms annotating commentary on the work of Golden Age great Ogden Whitney and his high-flying hero "Skyman"! The classic Cord automobile! The Flying Wing aircraft! All the seminal stuff we expect from Toth, but in an earlier package. If you want to learn something, Bucky, read on...
From the patriotic flyers of the American Volunteer Group in "Burma Sky", to
the unexpected arrival of occult evil at a typical American farm in "Double
Edge", to the mean streets of "Crushed Gardenia", it's Toth at his best...
as usual.
It’s been a mighty long time since we have had a gallery update here at Tothfans. Thankfully our great fellow Tothfan Don Mangus has graciously sent scans of some top notch, eye popping Toth art. See it in the Mangus Collection. Better yet, buy it online at Ebay now!
Thanks Don!
As many of you may know, Toth has been contributing columns, art, etc., to buddy Roy Thomas's magazine 'Alter Ego' for TwoMorrows Publishing.
Recently He contributed a piece about Mort Meskin for issue no. 24, and the most recent issue, no. 25 coming out this week has a recently colored cover of the Plastic Man illustration he did for Luca.
Pick it up on the stands soon. (I think...)
