Thinking Excercise

Think you know it all? Think again! And try Toth's Thinking Exercise, which I think really works, I think.

Look and see

See faces as they are. Toth advises us to make an omelet and ignore the “Ol‘ Egg-head things!”. Look and see

A New Logo for 'Tothfans.com' from The Man himself!

We thought we were "officially" Toth's web site before -- Alex sent this new logo via post card for his web site and future 'personalized' post cards. Our reaction? Drop dead awestruck!

And as if this wasn't earthshaking enough, you have 24 hours, Toth-ites, before even more awesome stuff comes your way! So hang on to your butts and keep your bodices pinned on tight...

Toth on style

Toth is a keen observer of style and always ‘costumes’ his figures well. He never shortcut the costumes in his art, they always befit the character, setting, era and needs of the story.

In this latest column, Toth gives some tips to us Tyros on observing style. Some good advice all ‘inkdippers’ should listen to. Sense of style you

More Annotated

More Annotated with Sy Barry's inks on The Australian Code Mystery, and some of the the famous "back pages". Enjoy!

Annotated Love is in the Air

Well it may not be Valentine's Day yet, but here at Tothfans Love is in the air with two new Annotated Love stories by Toth - "Appointment with Love" and "I Do".

Annotated in time for the New Year.

Two new annotated stories Turner's Treasure and The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of. Now I though there were only "Seven deadly sins" but Toth has now identified the Eighth!

December updates

Some great new art on display in the Gallery this month including Toth's only known drawing of The Phantom, a fantastic Errol Flynn and Pinocchio!

Also not to be missed in participating in this years Holiday card to Alex. Nicolas is working on a follow-up to last year's card.

Page of the Day Returns

Tothfans.com returns the "Page of the Day" feature. Enjoy!

"Page of the Day" on Hiatus.

Hey folks. In case you didn't notice, I did not post any "Page of the Day" content this week. So your are probably wondering "what is going on?"

Well, my job has been keeping me very, very busy and I have not been able to find any spare time to scan and/or post them. Thus rather than continue to present an empty calendar page with no image, I thought it would be better to put the

"Hold Soflty, Hand of Death" Annotated.

"What could the secret be of that man on the beach in his lonely wheelchair? If you've been following the creepy story, "Hold Soflty, Hand of Death" in the Page Of The Day, then check out Toth's annotations. And watch out for those obsessions..."

Two new AnnoToths!

Toth takes on Andre LeBlanc and Mort Meskin. The classroom is here and the lectures in session as The Man takes us through Meskin's Vigilante story - "The Rookie who fought a Ghost" and LeBlanc’s “Intellectual Amos”

Toth annotates Meskin's Vigilante!

The updates keep coming. Toth annotates Mort Meskin’s Vigilante story "Fiddler’s Fee". This annotated contains Toth’s reminiscence and analysis. A fun and educational read!

Thanks to Dylan Williams for sharing this!

Paolo again adds art to the Gallery

Our fellow Toth fan Paolo Giovenale has sent us a second set of art for the Toth fans gallery. His last contribution was fantastic, so go now to see what is in this new collection!

New Galley Art!

Your humble webmaster has been behind in his duties, but you Tothfans have not! Thus we have Gallery contributions from Tothfans Don (the scan of Toth's art for sale) and Leif (Young romance pages) to enjoy.

Note: Warring I left Leif's scans as they were posted so they will be slow downloads. But they are well worth the wait!

Questions about "The Question" answered!

It’s Gangster mugs, damsels in distress, and Wertham ’no-nos’! Toth annotates his rare and sublime version of “The Question”.

New art in the Gallery

Check out some superb Toth art in the Gallery including some new Supermen sketches and other rare gems.

The Vanguard!

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...

Ogden Whitney, Skyman and Toth!

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

We celebrate our Independence early with 3 new AnnoToths!

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...

Gallery update from Don!

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

Recently He contributed a piece about Mort Meskin for issue no. 24, and the most recent issue,

A Royal Welcome For This Week's 'AnnoToths'!

"If I Were King" I would want to know "Who Is Haunting The Haunted Chateau?" so I could live in my castle in peace. Perhaps, if you read Toth's latest notes "The Wings of Jealous Gods" will settle down and we'll have some peace and quiet...

Biplanes, UFOs and Death!

Four of Toth's favorite topics in two stories: Biplanes and UFOs in the subtle creepy "Tibor Miko's Christmas Eve" and Errol Flynn and swashbuckling in "The Man Who Tried to Kill Death". Seems like I remember Tibor coming out of the mother ship in "Close Encounters" ...

Spooky Annotated!

What connection could Alex Toth possibly have with Carol Landis, a town in Germany, witchcraft, rats, mobs, and a pack of kids you wouldn't want to take on a field trip?

Take a look at these latest "AnnoToths" from 'The Witching Hour' and the classic story "Eternal Hour" and see what
