Alex Toth: Glamour International Magazine (Second Series 1985-2001) # 24
(1997 - Glamour International)

[-BELOW THE LINE-] As this issue of Glamour International Magazine focuses so much on a single artist, Alex Toth, I've given the book its own separate, duplicate entry. It just missed getting up on to The List because it isn't much of a collection of his art. It is 96 pages, but only 38 pages could be said to feature single images, rather than text, model sheets or pages of his sequential art. And only 16 of those pages are each dedicated to a single large reproduction. Even counting the impressive pieces on both the front & back covers doesn't get to an adequate total. And a not-insignificant portion of what art there is presented is from other artists in an effort to show his influence on them. The sections are entitled Toth On Women - And More, Alex Toth And The Dark Side Of Comics, Toth's Heroes Portfolio, Toth's Women Portfolio, Toth On Toth, and a Bibliography of the artist, pulling together information on where to find his work and articles about him. There is some nudity, but this is one of the tamest issues of this series. Anyway, in addition to Toth's dozen large reproductions, you will also find one 'well-presented' piece each from Howard Chaykin, Joseph Clement Coll, Mike Mignola, Frank Miller, Jerry Robinson and Paolo Serpieri.
