| 1. Torpedo Volume 1 | 
|
By: Enrique Sanchez Abuli, Jimmy Palmiotti, Jordi Bernet, Alex Toth
Publisher: IDW Publishing
September 15, 2009
It's pretty hard to go wrong with a book that features art by Alex Toth and Jordi Bernet. And the art is absolutely fantastic. I liked the stories in general, but it wasn't Earth-shatteringly good. That's okay, I'm on board for the next volume, if for no other reason than to show thanks for getting more of Bernet's work in print in America. But also, because the art is fantastic... more

From: Image Comics
Publisher: Image Comics
2001-09
One of the comic art giants of the 1950s and 1960s was Alexander "Alex" Toth. His work continued on until his death a couple of years back---some of it absolutely brilliant (all of it good)---but more sporadically than in his heyday. He did a lot of film work towards the end of the 60s----storyboarding and character-designing both feature films (The Angry Red Planet, Hickey & Boggs) and tv cartoon... more

| 3. The Nightstand Chillers |
|
By: Pat Boyette, J. David Spurlock
Publisher: Vanguard Productions
2004-01
The name Pat Boyette may not be extremely well known among today's comic book fans which makes this collection of his work from Vanguard Productions all the more special. Boyette worked in TV and film before moving into comics in the 1960's and directed, wrote, edited, even provided the narration for one of the great 1960's "b" horror movies "Dungeons of Harrow". In fact calling it a "B" movie is... more

| 4. Blazing Combat |
|
By: Archie Goodwin
Publisher: Fantagraphics Books
April 29, 2009
Fantagraphics has managed to pull together every single issue of the legendary "Blazing Combat" into one big compendium. Yep, they managed to get all *ahem* four issues. Actually these were produced in larger magazine format and published quarterly so just these four issues were more than enough to fill a good size book. The book is all black and white just like the magazine and they have a very cool... more

| 5. Mystery in Space (Pulp Fiction Library) | 
|
By: Gardner Fox
Publisher: DC Comics
September 01, 1999
If you are looking for highly literate science fiction comics...well, this is not quite for you. But, some of these stories are well written, and the art, for most of them, is very good to excellent. Murphy Anderson is well represented, along with two comics drawn by Virgil Finlay, two from Joe Kubert (decades apart), one by a young Gil Kane, a couple from Jack Kirby. Single stories by Alex Toth... more

| 6. Creepy Archives Volume 2 |

By: Archie Goodwin, Larry Ivie, Others, Gray Morrow, Reed Crandall, Alex Toth, Al Williamson
By: Others
Publisher: Dark Horse
December 31, 2008
How can people not love Dark Horse Comics? I never thought I'd see these classic Warren magazines reprinted but Dark Horse has come to the rescue of all of us horror fans who grew up on Creepy, Eerie, and Vampirella in the 1970s. Volume two of the hardcover archive series reprints Creepy #6 - 10 in their entirety, complete with ads and letter columns. To go along with Frank Frazetta covers, the... more

| 8. Marvel Masterworks: The X-Men Vol. 2 (Hardcover) |
|
By: Stan Lee
Publisher: Marvel Entertainment Group
November 01, 2003
When I was young my parents shopped at a grocery store where the owner was kind enough to allow me to read comic books while my parents shopped. This allowed me to read the comics in this collection when they originally appeared. The X-Men was one of my favorites and I walked around with my eyes squinted, trying to be Cyclops and jumping feet first onto things trying to mimic the Beast.
Therefore... more
