Tommy is so great. It's funny to hear him talk about his struggles with line because his use of line is pretty brilliant. I love his work in line and in colour. Just a great guy all around.
Another excellent episode, TLE is one of my top art heroes and a constant influence and source of inspiration for my own work, as much as is (will always be) JPL. Can't thank you both enough.
In his own way, Alex Toth is as inescapable as Jack Kirby even if their approaches are very different. In my youth, I revered certain comic artists and dismissed others because they didn't draw "The Marvel Way". As I've aged and developed as an (amateur) artist I see nuances and subtleties in Toth's work that have placed him at the forefront of my thoughts. His work has enormous substance despite its seeming simplicity.
I've found this is the path to Toth for many, even if not for me. Alex's style or approach was never the popular one, but to us, he's tops! I wish he was for everyone - let's keep spreading the word!

Maybe why he and JP and others are so self deprecating is part of why their work was/is so good. And you ain't no slouch 😉
