The FBI Story / Four Color Comics #1069 - Alex Toth art


The FBI Story / Four Color Comics #1069, 1959 - A Jimmy Stewart photo cover graces the cover of this movie adaptation. In a documentary style that follows the film, the story chronicles the careers of two committed FBI agents. The story covers several decades beginning with J. Edgar Hoover's appointment as the FBI's first director in 1935. Alex Toth illustrates the book in an informative style and manageable pace. His line quality and exceptional brushwork vary, depending on the setting or intended mood. On pages 22-23, the artist's skillful control of lighting makes a dramatic scene even more moving. This is number 1 of 1 FBI Story issues with Toth art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Toth or Four Color Comics issues. See also this blog's Toth checklist.
