Publisher's Synopsis
Alex Toth's influence on the art of comic books is incalculable. As his generation was the first to grow up with the new 10-cent full-colour pamphlets, he came to the medium with a fresh eye and enough talent and discipline to graphically strip it down to its bare essentials. His efforts reached fruition at Standard Comics, creating an entire school of imitators and establishing Toth as the comic book artist's artist. Setting the Standard collects this highly influential body of work in one substantial volume.
