By the early-1950's there was one force driving comics into a stream-lined era" Alex Toth. His peers took notice, and began integrating Toth's style and approach into their own work. In the half-century which followed, any comic book artist who saw Alex's work was influenced by it. His work continues to inspire artists and readers the world over.
Alexander Toth was an American professional cartoonist active from the 1940s through the 1980s. Toth's work began in the American comic book industry, but he is also known for his animation designs for Hanna-Barbera throughout the 1960s and 1970s. His work included Super Friends, Space Ghost, The Herculoids, and Birdman. Toth's work has been resurrected in the late-night, adult-themed spinoffs on Cartoon Network: Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, Sealab 2021, and Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law.
