13 COVERS AND PAGES: A souped up BIRTHDAY TRIBUTE… On the first day of summer, I posted a piece about hot-rod comics, something I’d wanted to do for a long time. My plans were naturally going to include Alex Toth’s stint on DC’s short-lived Hot Wheels series from 1970. Then I noticed that his birthday was right around Dead Man’s Curve, so I figured, “Hey, let’s do TWO hot-rod stories.” (Toth was born 98 years ago, on June 25, 1928.) I expected that I would be called out for excluding Toth on Sunday, and I laughed when I was — because I knew that showing off Toth’s work on its own would really be something. He was one of the masters for a reason; his work on a little licensed series shows that no job was too small for an artist for his caliber. So start your engines and dig these 13 COVERS AND PAGES.
