The Library of American Comics concludes its in-depth look at Alex Toth's
life and art with Genius, Animated. This companion volume to 2011's
award-winning Genius, Isolated and 2013's Genius, Illustrated
zooms in to focus on Toth's groundbreaking contributions in the field of
animation and features many rarely-seen or never-before-published pieces of art,
much of it uncovered in the archives of Hanna-Barbera Studios! Featuring
presentation illustrations for unsold series, character designs and storyboards
for old favorites such as Space Ghost, SHAZZAN, and Superfriends, and work taken
from both the beginning (Space Angel) and end (Bionic 6) of Toth's
"Saturday kidvid" career, this oversized artbook features observations from
animation professionals about his work, plus Alex's own commentary on the
cartoon shows that shaped a generation.
Genius, Animated is filled, cover-to-cover, with must-see material,
making it essential reading for Toth-fans and animation enthusiasts alike.
