Alex Toth remastered

Toth is one of the greatest designers in the history of comics- his work is perfect in black and white. So the problem becomes--  how do you add color to a perfect black and white statement? Toth used to paraphrase Noel Sickles- to add to the truth of something only lessens its truth. In the case of this page, I tried to stay out of the line art's way, use color holds judiciously (it was tempting to hold the bushes outside the window, for example) and model just a touch, keeping Toth's own marker/ink color work in mind.
Anyway, I'm happy with the results and had a lot of fun!
