Green Lantern v2 #171 - Alex Toth art

Green Lantern v2 #171

Green Lantern v2 #171, 1983 - One of a handful of 1980s issues by Alex Toth, this tale benefits from two double page spreads. Overall, his thick lines (reinforced by inker Terry Austin) add a graphic quality that flattens the picture plane. There is less finesse, but the page layouts are more daring. Page seven (see interior page below) is especially noteworthy with its organic, flowing design. Arguably, the artwork looks a tad dated but no less enjoyable. Other artists in this copper age comic include Dave Gibbons. Cover by Gil Kane. This is 1 of 1 Green Lantern v2 issues by Toth.
