Super Friends and Alex Toth question


Ganesha

Recommended Posts

Hey guys, not sure if this goes here; but I know there are fans.

 

I was wondering if there's any site out there that has the model sheets Alex Toth created for his work on Super Friends?

 

Better yet, if there are any art books or encyclopedia style books I'd be interested to know.

 

Thanks.

I'm a HUGE Toth fan.

 

There are resources out there.

 

The BEST one is a pain in the a$$ to get, a now-long out-of-print book called Alex Toth: By Design--by Darrell McNeil. Its a B&W compilation of many--but not all-- of Toth's model sheets.

Its extremely sought-after and any copy goes for a lot of money now. I have a standing offer of $100 to anyone who can get me another copy of the book.

 

But like I said, its a pain in the a$$ to find, there are others out there though.

 

On-line sources easier to root through:

Start with that, and there are sites and blogs with additional samples posted on them.

ASIFA=Hollywood has an archive of material that anyone can access, and it has Toth model sheets therein, as well as many others.

Thanks guys.

 

I might as well mention Hanna-Barbera's world of super adventure is a pretty affordable art book with some model sheets; but not all. And it covers more than just Super Friends. Still a pretty good resource for old coots like myself who like things I can read on the toilet. :)

 

Any idea what year Cartoon Network had the images online? I tried checking archive.org. Better yet, if you have them saved could you zip them up and share them with us please? Thanks.

I have the Super Adventure book and By Design has about double the model sheets.

I think its possible to cobble together most, if not all, of the available sheets from the Super Adventures book, and the various on-line samples.
