BRAVO FOR ADVENTURE
Forty years after its creation, Bravo for Adventure remains a rollicking pastiche of 1930s high-adventure, replete in the visual trappings of film noir without any of that genre’s existential depression. But it’s Toth’s art that defines this pioneering graphic novel as his magnum opus. By this point in his career he had stripped out all extraneous lines and detail, demonstrating complete command of his staging and chiaroscuro technique, and cementing his reputation as the field’s most sophisticated storyteller.
