There is a great documentary on the Space Ghost and Dino Boy DVD
that came out a few years ago. Well worth a watch.

Eric Jansen:A friend gave me the SHOWCASE PRESENTS HOUSE
OF MYSTERY and while the stories are nothing to write home about,
the art just gets better and better--especially once Alex Toth starts. (Al
Williamson, Gray Morrow, Bernie Wrightson, and Neal Adams also
look great!) I'm not a big fan of B&W comics, but his work here looks
incredible! It's hard to imagine how color could have done anything but
mess things up.

Eric, the Zorro material was originally published in color. This volume
is in B&W, and I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, this is a case
where an artist went in and reworked the artwork and it actually
improved it, IMO.
As I mentioned, Toth was allowed to add a gray tone to the panels to
give it some depth. The results are nice. I think I once had a Disney
comic that was digest sized that collected a couple of stories. It was in
color. I don't think I really want to see this in color again considering
the B&W is so beautiful.

Discovering his Zorro and Dell Four Color works was such a treat.
His story-telling is superb!!!
