This deluxe hardcover edition contains all three of The Geniuss stories starring Jesse Bravo, knock-about pilot and reluctant swashbuckler, including the original graphic novel thats been out of print for 30 years. Also included are never-before-seen pencil roughs, preliminary drawings, and story fragments, as well as Toths own coloring samples for an edition that never saw print, and-freed from storage after 40-some-years of the coloring for what was intended to be Bravos original 1975 first printing in France! Its not just a comics collection, its a capital E Event — the ultimate Bravo for Adventure, published by special arrangement with the Toth family! Alex Toth (1928-2006) is recognized as one of the great creators of comic art. In his multi-decade career, he produced a lasting legacy of distinctive visual storytelling in multiple genres: war stories, romance, westerns, the popular super hero genre and the now obscure hot rod racing comic. Mr. Toth also left a fondly remembered mark in the world of action adventure animation, contributing to the creation of such cherished cartoons as Space Ghost (1966), The Herculoids (1967), Birdman and the galaxy Trio (1967), and the Super Friends series from 1973, which was based on the DC Comic, Justice League of America.But despite his immense talent, Mr. Toth rarely left a definitive stamp of longevity on a particular comic or individual character. Early in his artistic career, he hoped to achieve the same success in newspaper comic strips as some of his idols; Noel Sickles (a pioneering comic strip artist and illustrator of the 1930s Scorchy Smith strip), Milton Caniff (creator of Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon), Hal Foster (father of Prince Valiant), and Alex Raymond (originator of Flash Gordon). Instead, his path led him to the comic book industry. However, as a kind of artistic gypsy thoughout his lifetime, his genius would touch a comic briefly then continue on to the next project. Thus, he was never associated with a specific comic or character, like Curt Swan on Superman, Carmine Infantino on the Silver Age version of The Flash, Gene Colan on the Tomb of Dracula comic, or John Buscema on the Conan the Barbarian series. Still, Mr. Toths work on a comic, while short, would leave a lingering love for his particular vision in the hearts of many readers long after he traveled on to the next artistic challenge.For many years, Mr. Toth hoped to create his own adventure comic series. Bravo for Adventure is Mr. Toths beautiful personal homage to the stories he loved most, thrilling tales of action and adventure filled with heroic men and beautiful women. It was supposed to be his comic masterpiece but regretfully it was a work of comic art that did not achieve its full aspirations. Still, in this excellent hardcover edition released by IDW Publishing, Mr. Toths unfulfilled masterwork is given a worthy tribute. The book is a labor of love, collecting all of the Bravo for Adventure stories including cover illustrations, sketches, color pages rendered by Mr. Toth, even story ideas and breakdowns that sadly were never realized, all contained with a 9.5 x 13 inch hardback tome with a black linen ribbon bookmark.In the volumes 4 paged opening story, Mr. Toth provides the reader a brief text and spot illustrated biography of his hero. The title character is Jesse Bravo, a man raised from childhood to be a pilot and love the skies, who runs his own air charter service in 1930s California. Like many during the Great Depression in the United States, Jesse Bravo struggled to keep his business running, but his was an occupation a bit more exciting, dramatic, even more romantic then most. All these elements come into play in the books major tale, a 48 paged grand adventure showcasing all of Mr. Toths amazing storytelling gifts, featuring: a no- nonsense, straight talking hero, a less than admirable fellow pilot bringing trouble and a lovely lady who loves him, a gambling boss and his henchmen, high-flying action...and a master artist doing what he loves! Great comic book reading is the ultimate result!The books concluding 17 paged story finds Mr. Toth creating a more internal adventure for his lead character and a more experimental exercise in sequential art for himself, as the reader finds Jesse Bravo struggling to recover from a head injury.The beauty of this gifted illustrators back and white artwork is awe- inspiring. Mr. Toth was a genius in the use of the artistic technique called chiaroscuro, which involves a strong depiction of light and dark in compositions to provide distinctive contrasts in the artwork. Mr. Toths mastery of chiaroscuro is on full display in this collection and even more breathtaking in the tomes larger size, as the reader can more easily gaze at the wonder of his art.But another perhaps under-appreciated side to these stories is Mr. Toths writing. While the creator himself acknowledges the quote/unquote, cliches he used to help bring his stories of Jesse Bravo to life (it was born an homage, after all), this reviewer found Mr. Toth successful in bringing a sense of brotherly comradeship into the tales. There is a strong sense of fellowship expressed in the interplay of the characters in the action packed series, especially in the central story of the collection.Taken as a whole, IDW Publishings Bravo for Adventure can be considered the definitive collection of this special comic series. Dear to the heart of its creator, this volume represents it in all its too brief glory.It is very highly recommended.
