More Alex Toth Supergirl



One of my all time favorite artists in comics is Alex Toth.

Literal books have been written describing his genius so I won't try to encapsulate it here. But his dynamic and economical style was brilliant. Everything is just incredible.

I always found it vexing that there just wasn't much Toth Supergirl out there. The most I found was a single panel in the Super Friends Treasury edition. And even then it is of a Supergirl statue.

So imagine my utter joy when this Toth image of Bronze Age Supergirl was forwarded to me.

Talk about hot pants. This is about as cheeky a Kara as you're going to see. But it amazes me just how much Toth is able to convey with his lines. This is just gorgeous.



So kudos to @Charlton_Hero and Rob from the Fire and Water podcasts for sending this to me via Twitter.

It is concept art for an Underoos ad campaign.

Be still my nostalgic heart!!!!

You can also see Toth takes on Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Superman as well!! Just gorgeous.


I felt obligated to post this Toth image from the Super Friends treasury. I thought for sure I had shared it here before but I couldn't find it.

Incredible. Toth always did a jaw-dropping Black Canary.


And I have to say I like Toth the man as well as the artist. In the Super Friends treasury is his credo. Here is how he ended it, a quote so perfect that I printed this and had it taped to my office door for a week a while back.
