What They're Saying
Critics Review
“A high-water mark in the field of comic artist biography.” —New York Journal of Books “This is a great book…A very revealing and inspiring publishing achievement that all Toth fans will love.” —The Animation Guild “Under the hands of Bruce Canwell and Dean Mullaney, Genius Illustrated sets the absolute gold standard for deluxe artist biographies. There have been some wonderful comics history books released in the last few years, but this book surpasses them all in terms of its production values, its comprehensiveness and the quality of the biographical information presented. Alex Toth was one of the greatest artists ever to work in the comic art medium. This book merits the highest possible compliment: it’s a worthy tribute to Toth.” —Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin
About The Author
Dean Mullaney
Born in New York City in 1928, Alex Toth attended what is now the School of Visual Arts and broke into the comic book field as a teenager. During his sixty-year professional career, he became known as the “artists’ artist”-he became very much like his great hero, Noel Sickles-the guy all the others wanted to draw like. In the 1960s he entered the animation field and became equally well-known and respected for his groundbreaking designs for Space Ghost and The Herculoids, among other series.
