This is becoming something of a tradition. Usually, we do a 13 COVERS selection when we celebrate birthdays in these parts.
But for Alex Toth, this is the third straight year we’re picking 13 of his groovy animated model sheets. Pretty much because people seem to love it when we do.
And who can blame you — or us? These sheets are just so damn cool.
This year? It’s all about the Super Friends.
Far out.

OK, so I’m cheating. This isn’t a model sheet. This is from Limited Collectors’ Edition #C-41. But, man.

A fantastic selection. Interesting to see designs which were changed (Black Lightning, Bizarro) and even ones that unfortunately never saw the screen at all, like Catwoman!

GREAT FRAGGIN’ KRYPTON!! For the first time in my life, I find that I have the hots for Superman’s mom!
It just feels so wrong somehow, but how can I help myself when Alex gave her elegantly oblate spheroids with such a devastating degree of effect. Yet I admit that I feel a proper sense of shame and guilt, as if I’d just confessed to a lustful desire for the Holy Virgin Mary. In my own defense, I can only point the finger of blame at Mr. Alex Toth, who thought of it first.
