I remember when these came out I thought that Toth was cheating us with all the loose inking and lack of background. Of course this was in the days when I was an EC snob and thought every comic book illustrator had to be Wood, Williamson, Frazetta, Davis or Severin, etc. Years later I realized that Toth was a master of action, staging and placement. And he loved to draw cars.
Did you post this as a tribute to Kookie, who died Jan 8th? Edd Byrnes was at a couple of the LA Paperback Shows in the 90s.
ReplyDeleteHadn't heard about the demise of Kookie. Sad news.

ReplyDeleteThe last 77 Sunset Strip comic you posted brought me to this site, and I've been here every day since. Thanks for posting this!
