Buster Crabbe v2 #2 - Alex Toth art & cover

Alex Toth

(The Amazing Adventures of) Buster Crabbe v2 #2, 1954 - Based on the popular actor, this is his second comic book adventure series. All three tales feature different genres. Alex Toth's science fiction-themed cover adequately reflects his first story inside: Buster accompanies a rocket scientist and his daughter to the moon, where they discover alien plans to attack Earth. The drawings lose a bit of their luster due to Mike Peppe's inking, but this is largely offset by the terrific page layouts (see interior page below). Toth illustrates a second tale: a western involving hidden gold and a string of murders. The drawings are markedly better and maintain a high level of craftsmanship. Other artists in this issue include Mort Leav.
