Toth was born in 1928, and had a career that took him both into comics and animation, and was perhaps best known for his stylistic interpretations at Hanna-Barbera during the ‘60s and ’70s while working on such properties as Space Ghost, Challenge of the Superfriends, Fantastic Four, Herculoids, Birdman and Jonny Quest. Toth’s artwork appeared in comics published by DC Comics, Marvel, Standard, Dell, Warren, Famous Funnies and numerous others. You can find out more about Toth at http://www.tothfans.com/.

Wow, I loved most of that Hanna Barbera stuff. In fact, a friend of mine owns the complete library of Hanna Barbera sound effects and we were just listening to a bunch of stuff from space ghost the other day.

Sad loss.

We were talking about it all weekend -- hubby decided that he'd like to go out the same way: at the drawing table, doing what he loved. He had a wonderful, long career, and lived to a good old age. He'll sure be remembered! :)

I dug the hanna-barbera stuff, but really loved his comic work - what an illustrator. The nice thing about being an artist is that he gets to live forever.
