Alex Toth Mentions Al Wiseman!
A couple of days after comics great Alex Toth passed away earlier this year, my friend Don Mangus mentioned to me that he had a postcard from Toth with a comment about Al Wiseman and Dennis the Menace comics.
Don had been corresponding with Toth for quite some time and asked him about a novel written by cartoonist Mel Lazarus. The early-1960's book was titled The Boss is Crazy, Too and fictionalized Mel's experiences in the 1950's comic book field. Apparently, there was some reference to Ned Pines (who was the publisher of Dennis the Menace comic books).
Don has promised to write a little more in-depth about this when he gets the chance. Thanks Don!
