still haven't been able to see enough of his work, but from what i've seen clearly a great artist.

I still haven't seen enough Alex Toth either, and frankly I doubt I ever will.

Toth joins Haney to talk Jesus:

Toth does a lovely Lex Luthor in a very charming story:

Fucking hell.

And I just did half a page of stuff on him for CI, and how he seemed to be making a good recovery. Hoping there's time for a major stop-press. I lost my mother yesterday too, so needless to say my morale is completely fucked up and distressed at the moment...

He was brilliant. Everyone needs to see more of his stuff.

I'm sorry to hear about your loss, chrissie. I hope your morale heals up a little soon.

Vic

I read and loved this story when it first came out. My copy of it has long since vanished but now, thanks to you, I can read it again. Many, many thanks.

Don't thank me, thank Dial B For Blog.

Gorgeous work. And this coming from a godless heathen.

Great art can make anything worth looking at.

he did the original designs for sealab! saw the credit while drunkenly watching sealab 2021 last night...

Adult Swim in general owe a lot to him. I mean, sure, the original Space Ghost series sucked, but SG's design was pretty unfuckwithable.

Paul's been busy on a new book, so obit was delayed a bit, but the Guardian don't mind running slightly late pieces like that. (The obit was Paul's idea though. I don't think they even knew who Toth was, particularly...)
