Sean Murphy doing a Zorro book! Love it and love classic Toth Zorro.
Single issues were released earlier this year, so you can snag them. The Kickstarted HCs are set to be shipped shortly, I believe.
Really good episode, LOVE the idea of Toth doing a novel. Sean is one really smart cookie. Bravo for him learning the lessons of the earlier generations and then making it work for him. As to favorite Toth probably a combo of the Horror and Romance work for me.
Glad you liked it, Dean. Fave Toth for me is hard to choose, but I tried my best in early Essential episodes, Top 10, and Top 5 To Study.
Love the interviews glad there’s another
Thanks, me too.
42:30 In the 90's Peter David was pulling in $100K a month in royalties for over a year!!!!! 100K in the 90's is 200K today! He pulled that in a MONTH for several months! Dude, squandered his wealth like Dale Keown.
I don't know all the details of David's situation, and hope he'll be well.
Took me a day or two longer to get to this than I wanted, but got to watch it today. Great stuff as always Paul. Loved hearing from Sean, whose stuff I dig. Haven't read all of it, but like the stuff I have read. To answer the two big questions in the vid for me, if I had the $$ what project would I put Alex on-well since he did so many film adaptations, I'd love to see his adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal- so much could be done w/ blacks & staging and body language with that that I think Alex would be superb on it. The second, what is my favorite Toth work, that's tough, if I had to pick just one I think I would go with the story Taps he did in Bop #1. Anyways, love the vid, keep 'em coming.
Good picks! I do wonder if Seventh Seal is so well-realized what else Toth would've done with it. No doubt he was acutely aware of what Bergman, Welles, Hitchcock and many other filmmakers were up to.
Toth on Lonesome Dove would have been fun. I think that would have blended well.
Oh, yes - in the Dell style!
I thought the Zorro by Toth was out of print here? Can you find the tone version?!
One can find it out there, and Image did both volumes in one. Also, it seems to be free on Kindle.
So you haven't seen the Alain Delon's Zorro movie? Or any of the Mexican Zorro movies?
I've not, personally.
11:20 Toth didn't pick the top selling books to work on because he was not interested in the material. Those who liked his work liked his work. Not just artists.
Sure, just "artists' artist" is an oft-used term when discussing Toth. And, yes, that is one reason Toth didn't work on best selling books.
Sean is Alex Toth, Toppi, Zaffino and Bruce Timm rolled in one!
All bad artists
@@reginaldforthright805 yeah bad hehe
Well, comics are really respected in Europe and Japan. Image comics is a good example in the U.S.
Image is 💩
Alex toth is one of the most overrated comics artists, but there are a lot to go around.
HAHAHAHAHA
