Some panels look like either Toth didn’t really spend much time on it, or something went wrong during reproduction. The tones are kinda weird: Usually when you do this kind of tone, you have several different darkness levels (i.e., how tight the dots are), but it’s 100% completely flat in this book. And this certainly looks like it’s been drawn for a colour comic, but like somebody added zip-a-tone to this version.Īha! Toth did the guides and Eclipse added the tones. The Zorro comics I read back then were in colour, and in (just about) normal comics size. Howard Chaykin writes a lively introduction to the first of these two rather thick volumes (120 pages each) and explains that he’s been a lifelong Toth fan, and reports on some amusing anecdotes about Toth’s argumentativeness. And I read basically all comics that came across my path, but these were so cheesy that even I couldn’t stomach reading them.īut, of course, I don’t know whether the Zorro comics I reluctantly read back then were the Toth ones or some other anonymous artist from the Disney/Dell coal mines. I remember I had a translated version of some Disney Zorro stories when I was like eight, and I remember thinking that they were super-lame.
