Fantastic Worlds v1 #5, 1952 - For both science fiction stories,
Alex Toth uses graphically simple layouts to house panels that sometimes reveal too little information. An abundance of shadows and silhouettes reinforce this effect. It works well in establishing mood in some cases (first story, page seven), but seems lackluster on others (page one, panel one of same story). An online source credits Mike Peppe for inking both tales, but "Triumph Over Terror" seems distinctly different by comparison. The style is closer in resemblance to the work of Bernard Sachs, but regardless, both Toth efforts are less than stellar visually. Other artists in this golden age comic include George Roussos. Cover by Murphy Anderson. This is 1 of 2
