"Introduction "by Jim Warren

“Everyone I know in our field knows the work of Alex Toth. Everyone who is serious about entering our field studies the work of Alex Toth. Every one of the greats in our field (from Will Eisner to Jim Steranko to Frank Frazetta) praises the work of Alex Toth. The beauty of his graphics is clear, obvious, visible, and easy to appreciate. What is perhaps not so obvious - because he is not readily visible - is the beauty of the man himself.”

“It's an uncomfortable fact that Introductions rarely accomplish much more than to add tinsel to an already heavily-decorated tree. God knows Alex Toth is already abundantly decorated. But we who love his art and his writing and his values cannot decorate him enough. If we send him a zillion messages of appreciatino this will not be enough, considering the body of magnificent work produced by this masterly and prodigious originator, author, designer, producer named Alex Toth.”
