Info on three-book-look at comics great Alex Toth

"Alex Toth: Genius Isolated," is the first of three books on the great comics artist coming out from IDW Publishing this year. Newsarama checks in with author Bruce Canwell and editor Dean Mullaney.

“The first book will take us from the beginnings of his comics career in the forties through the early sixties when he first entered the animation business. The second book, which will be called Genius, Illustrated, will be published in October of 2011, and will pick up from there and cover the second half of his career.

“The third book,” Mullaney continued, “is going to be essentially just pages and pages of his animation drawings – his model sheets, character designs, storyboards, color presentation pieces that he did to help the studio sell cartoons to the network. There’s so much fantastic, original artwork.”

I'm looking forward to seeing them all!
