This bums me out. A great and underrappreciated talent. Plus he had a lot of wisdom on what these characters should look like.

So long, Mr. Toth. My childhood wouldn't have been the same without you.

I really liked the Plastic Man archives cover he did a few years back.

A great, great talent.

It wasn't until a few short years ago that I found out that Toth was responsible for the Superfriends show that I loved as a really littler kid. This is a sad moment for me.

I'll miss his work. I wish his family well.

RIP Alex Toth.

The Toth "Fox" back-ups in the last two issues might have been the best thing published by Red Circle/Archie during this era, which includes Ditko's run on "The Fly".

He was awesome. I loved reading his one page, hard to read essays in Alter Ego every month. It does seem emptier there without him.
