Hello.
I am Alex Toth'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 Toth and family.
More on the CBR front page. =(
A collection of Toth's letters and drawings is available in the latest PREVIEWS for August from Jeff Parker's publishing house, which I think is called Octopus. Toth was one of the great influences on comics artists today. You likely wouldn't have Bruce Timm without Alex Toth, for one. When I picked up the SHOWCASE HOUSE OF MYSTERY book, the first stories I jumped to were the ones Toth did. Beautiful work.
