"In comic books, Alex Toth was the foremost proponent of modern design and composition. Starting in 1950, his work influenced almost every one of his contemporaries and has continued to work its magic on the generations that followed. In animation, his 1960s model sheets for Hanna-Barbera are still passed around as swipe sources from animator to young animator in the 21st Century."--

"Revel in the art of one of the most important and influential artists of comics and animation of all time! Of every comics story Alex Toth ever drew, the only one that he kept the complete original art to was Bravo For Adventure . This Artist's Edition is a virtual "how-to" course in drawing comics the Toth way. We see how he would draw all the detail in a scene, only to black it out in order to focus the reader's eye on what really counted. "Simplify, simplify, simplify," he said. Also included are variant versions of the Bravo saga featuring Noah Chance and the experimental aircraft called Condor, plus dozens of never-before-seen pencil roughs, preliminary drawings, and story fragments, as well as all 12 pages of Toth's own coloring for an edition that never saw print, and--freed from storage after 40 years--all of the coloring for what was intended to be Bravo's original 1975 first printing in France."-from the publisher.

A Boy's Own Story is a now-classic coming-of-age story, but with a twist: the young protagonist is growing up gay during one of the most oppressive periods in American history. Set in the time and place of author Edmund White's adolescence, the Midwest of the 1950s, the novel became an immediate bestseller, and for many readers was not merely about gay identity but the pain of being a child in a fractured family while looking for love in an anything-but-stable world. And yet the book quickly contributed to the literature of empowerment that grew out of the Stonewall riots and subsequent gay rights era. Readers are still swept up in the main character's thoughts and dry humor, and many today remain shocked by the sexually confessional, and bold, nature of his revelations, his humorous observations and the comic situations and scenes the strangely erudite youthful narrator describes, and the tenderness of his loneliness and the vivid aching of his imagination. A Boy's Own Story is lyrical, witty, unabashed, and authentic. Now, to bring this landmark novel to new life for today's readers, White is joined by co-writers Brian Alessandro & Michael Carroll and artist Igor Karash for a stunning graphic novel interpretation. The poetic nuances of White's language float across sumptuously painted panels which evoke 1950s Cincinnati, 1980s Paris, and every dreamlike moment in between. A creative adaptation of the original 1982 A Boy's Own Story with additional personal and historical elements from the authors' lives.
