Adventures Into Darkness #5 - Alex Toth art

Adventures Into Darkness #5

Adventures Into Darkness v1 #5, 1952 - After breaking into an opulent house, a crooked couple comes across an ancient tome. Consequently, a demon is summoned that grants their every wish. Alex Toth uses a nine-part grid throughout the story, but avoids repetition by slightly varying the layouts. While his drawings seem straightforward, each panel is purposefully designed, careful to contain only the most essential storytelling elements. Toth's heavy shadows and silhouettes contribute to the dark mood of both of his tales. "Murder Mansion" was later reprinted in Seduction of the Innocent #2. Other artists in this golden age comic include Ruben Moreira, Jerry Grandenetti, Art Saaf and John Celardo. Cover by George Roussos. This is 1 of 3 Adventures Into Darkness issues by Toth.
