Sinopse
Alex Toth is revered as one of the greatest of all comics artists. Others laud his pioneering work in animation, including his groundbreaking designs for Space Ghost and The Herculoids. His work influenced countless professionals in both fields. His biography and talents proved too big to be contained in a single volume. Therefore, The Library of American Comics and IDW is releasing the much-anticipated Genius, Isolated: The Life and Art of Alex Toth in March 2011 as the first in a three-book set that will be the definitive statement on the restless genius and timeless legacy of Alex Toth.
Created by the Eisner Award-winning team of Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell-who produced the ground-breaking Scorchy Smith and the Art of Noel Sickles-Genius, Isolated is a lavishly illustrated book that includes the first biography of this giant figure. The book has been compiled with complete access to the family archives, and with the full cooperation of Toth's children.
Creative Director Dean Mullaney and Associate Art Director Lorraine Turner met with Toth's eldest daughter, Dana, and eldest son, Eric, to discuss the expansive plans for the three-book set. "It's been a great pleasure getting to know them over the past two years," said Mullaney, who worked with Alex Toth to publish the definitive Zorro editions in the 1980s. "To say that we're all excited with the larger scope of the project is an understatement!"
In addition to art and photographs from the family, Toth fans and friends throughout the world have loaned original artwork reproduced in the entire series. Included are many examples of Toth's art, from complete stories to rare pages, as well as-incredibly-a previously unknown, unfinished, and unpublished penciled story from the early 1950s! The tome covers his earliest stories at DC in the 1940s, his defining work at Standard, his incomparable Zorro comics in the 1950s, and a special section collects-for the first time-the complete Jon Fury pages that
