Toth's Bravo For Adventure!

Bravo for Adventure is a somewhat obscure Alex Toth project which evoked the best Toth had to give to the comics page -- a period setting, a dashing hero, and a compelling adventure. The story was developed for overseas originally, but found publication at long last in the United States tucked away in two issues of Warren's The Rook. The adventure was collected several years later by Dragon Lady Press, but after that nothing until IDW Publishing collected the stories under both hard cover and soft cover in 2015. Both are still available. But if you can't wait see the links below.

There are technically only three Bravo for Adventure installments. The central one is the 48-page vintage tale of airplanes, dames, crime and such. Another is a four-page introduction to the character Toth produced, while the third is a bizarre 17-page Alice in Wonderland like surreal journey Jesse Bravo experiences when he's hit in the head with an airplane prop. The latter seemed more an experiment for Toth to play with imagery than anything else. 

Alex Toth was a legendary artist who was famously gruff and yet also famously generous. He worked his whole career to make his art as attractive as as efficient as possible. To this reader's mind, he succeeded masterfully with Bravo for Adventure.
