Roy Rogers and Trigger #125 - mis-attributed Alex Toth art


Roy Rogers and Trigger #125, 1958 - A stand-alone page at the end of this issue gives readers some general information about prospectors. Overstreet's guide credits Alex Toth, while an online Toth checklist calls it "questionable". Comparing the page to the artist's other works of the same time period (especially for Dell), there are examples of the same loosely drawn panels on single pages. They are also similar in their educational-themed content rather than fiction stories. Although stylistically consistent overall, the men's faces in the background of panel four appear the least Toth-like in approach. Regardless of the artist credit, the hurried nature of the layout and drawings are decidedly mediocre. See today's posts or more Toth or Roy Rogers and Trigger issues.
