Who are the individuals who have made great contributions to the comic book arts? Who are the writers, artists, editors, publishers and others who have plied their craft in insightful ways? The Overstreet Hall of Fame, which spotlights many such creators and leading figures, is featured in The Overstreet Guide To Collecting Comics.

Beginning his career at the young age of 15, and quickly rising to be one of the most iconic artists in both the world of comics and animation, Alex Toth inspired a generation of fans through his body of work, both as an artist and writer.

Throughout the mid-1940s and early 1950s, Toth worked for such companies as DC, Famous Funnies, Atlas, Marvel and Visual Edition (Standard). His portfolio included work on Green Lantern, Mystery in Space, Strange Adventures, Unseen, World’s Finest, and Zorro.

After serving a tour of duty in the US Army, Toth began to work for Hanna-Barbera doing storyboards for Space Ghost, Challenge of the Superfriends, Fantastic Four, Herculoids, Birdman and Jonny Quest.

In addition to his work in animation, Toth continued to draw comics and write columns for Alter Ego and Comic Book Artist. He passed away in 2006.
