Alex Toth's Daughter's Book About Her Father Now on Indiegogo
Alex Toth's daughter Dana Palmer h.jpg)
as written a book about the touching journey her father and she made at the end of his life.
In describing the book for us Dana said, "Those who knew my father will read it and understand- but those who do not may be amazed at his other side."
The book titled, "MY FATHER, MY FAITH: A daughter's inspiring true story of medical advocacy and love's ability to heal", is being crowdfunded by Dana on Indiegogo.
From the campaign, "I have been a writer and photographer most of my creative life. I started this project after my father's passing (the late cartoonist Alex Toth), but set it down for over a decade, because it was so emotional to write. Ironically, I found the manuscript on Father's Day 2020, and the rest of the manuscript poured out onto the pages. It was time.
While my father received notoriety and accolades for his work, the truth is, his desire to lean into relationships and love were his greatest unlived dreams. Without that, he felt isolated and alone.
I came back into his life (after 10 years), and he'd not left his house in 20 years. Against all odds, and the predictions of doctors and a psychiatrist, he left to seek medical attention and embark on a new chapter."
Toth fans can help get this book published by ordering and supporting Dana's project running now through Tuesday, November 10, 2020. on Indiegogo.

WANTED: Daddy and the Pie; art by Alex Toth written by Bill DuBay
Posted on: Tue, March 10, 2020
Hello,
The Toth family is helping a publisher track down the original art or high resolution images of the 8 page story Alex drew called "Daddy and the Pie". Two of the original pages are available through a friend with the remaining 6 to be uncovered. If anyone has a lead, we would appreciate the help. If the we are successful, it will be one more story faithfully re produced for all to enjoy.
Thank you, Eric Toth
NOTE: from tothfans I missed this post from March.

Yes, I gave Mullaney and Canwell a very hard time for their efforts, but I also lobbied for the best volume of the trilogy, the second, to be nominated for Eisners when I was one of the judges this year---and lo and behold, our man's book got doubly honored.

A ton of very positive feedback on Facebook all about Volume 3. Still hope to hear more about the slip case.
