Dan Greenfield, editor, 13th Dimension
Genius, Isolated: The Life and Art of Alex Toth, IDW. IDW is re-releasing the acclaimed series of books on one of comics’ greatest practitioners, now in paperback. Virtually every artist I’ve spoken to lists Toth as an influence; you can’t go wrong here. By Dean Mullaney and Bruce Canwell.
Scott adds: Very happy to see this marvelous work of comics history made available again in a more affordable softcover edition.

Alex Toth: Bravo for Adventure Artist’s Edition, IDW. More Toth! A new printing of the oversized hardcover showcasing his original art in precise detail. Another can’t-miss.

The Archie Encyclopedia, Archie. First of its kind! Everything you wanted to know about the Riverdale crew, no matter what reality you’re into — from Classic Archie to Modern Archie to Little Archie to Married Archie, you name it. Prime, colorfully illustrated material that runs the gamut. (Click here for an EXCLUSIVE PREVIEW.)

I like the first book in these picks because it celebrates the late Alex Toth.
