Newsarama's article:
>> The comics industry has lost another legend, as sad news has come that Alex Toth died yesterday morning at his drawing table.
Alex’s son Eric left a message on the Alex Toth Forums confirming the news:
----------------------------
Hello.
I am Alex's oldest son Eric. I meant to be the one to let everyone know that my father did pass away this morning drawing/writing at his table. I do not have any further details other than I will forward an address for those interested in sending cards. We will arrange something appropriate at or around the convention this summer in San Diego. As John shared, all of your cards and letters of the recent past were very much appreciated by my father. Only in these last years did he begin to understand and accept the fact that his work had touched so many people's lives. In time, more information will follow.
Thank you.
Eric and family.

Toth was born in 1928, and had a career that took him both into comics and animation, and was perhaps best known for his stylistic interpretations at Hanna-Barbera during the ‘60s and ’70s while working on such properties as Space Ghost, Challenge of the Superfriends, Fantastic Four, Herculoids, Birdman and Jonny Quest. Toth’s artwork appeared in comics published by DC Comics, Marvel, Standard, Dell, Warren, Famous Funnies and numerous others. |
