Alex Toth

Alexander Toth (25 June 1928-27 May 2006) was an American comic book artist.
== His 1960s works ==
Toth designed a number of super-heroes and other characters for Hanna-Barbera. These included "The Space Ghost," Birdman (whom he also created), "The Galaxy Trio," Shazzan, Moby Dick, Mighty Mightor, and Young Samson and Goliath. He also provided designs for Hanna-Barbera's adaptation of The Fantastic Four, which was based on the Marvel Comics Group's earliest published characters under that company name.
== His 1970s and 1980s works ==
After a period of absence from his employment, Toth returned to Hanna-Barbera in the 1970s, designing characters for such animated cartoons as Sealab 2020, Oliver and the Artful Dodger, Lost in Space, SuperFriends (which was based on various DC Comics characters), Jabberjaw, Clue Club, and Captain Caveman and the Teen Angels.

Toth's work as both a comics artist and a character designer, the latter primarily for Hanna-Barbera's animated cartoons, has been the subject of two books, Genius Illustrated and Genius Animated. These two books both provide extensive analyses of his art.
== His death ==
Toth died in late May of 2006, twenty-nine days before he would have reached the age of 78.
