Alex Toth in Hollywood #1
"Nitro" is a gripping historical saga from Alex Toth in Hollywood #1, a 2009 release from Pure Imagination, featuring the legendary artist Alex Toth both writing and illustrating the story. This powerful narrative follows FBI agent Chip Hardesty and his family across decades, navigating the turbulent waters of the 1920s through the 1950s—from the Klan’s shadow in Oklahoma and 1930s gangland violence to wartime espionage and Cold War paranoia. The cover, also by Alex Toth, captures the era’s tension with a stark, evocative design.
