Sinister House of Secret Love #3 - Alex Toth art

Sinister House of Secret Love #3

Sinister House of Secret Love v1 #3, 1972 - A young woman travels to a meet a handsome but reclusive foreigner in this gothic romance tale. In one of his longest stories for DC, Alex Toth demonstrates a mastery of pacing and page design. Like many of his bronze age efforts, his style is streamlined and graphic, while conveying the complex moods of the characters. Several noteworthy panels include the symbolic correspondence of the characters on page 6, their silent first embrace on page 9 (see interior page shown below), and the abstract shadows of a leafy canopy on page 15. This story was later reprinted in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #20. The cameo-shaped cover design is beautifully painted, but the artist is unknown to me. This is 1 of 1 Sinister House of Secret Love issues by Toth.
