Creepy v1 #123, 1980 - As the plague ravages through Europe and takes his wife, Victor Polideri suffers further from the violent murders of each one of his relatives. On the opening page, Alex Toth inks are minimally applied. Subsequent pages become more forceful as the tale progresses. His inking is dark and heavy, creating stark contrasts between light and shade (see interior page above). The page layouts benefit directly from the improved designs. This is one of Toth's few inking assignments that nonetheless demonstrate a seasoned hand. Other artists in this bronze age magazine include Carmine Infantino, Dan Adkins, Martin Salvator and Alfredo Alcala. This is 13 of 15 Creepy issues by Toth.
