I think they may have cajoled a few covers from him. I love Alex, but the sad thing, if you average his page output since the sixties, I'm not sure he did as many as 8 pages of story at peak per month. Sure, he was doing other work, but he was doing a lot of thinking too. I would have loved to have a full monthly title in comics from Toth-- was it in him? I was a bit underwhelemed with Rudes try (I think I liked his Space Ghost better), and tended to think Marc Wheatly? was the most fluid story teller when this series was running in comics about half way between now and when the TV show was airing Toth should have pitched in more to the comic book series himself, I’m sure he would have been more than welcome. I think they may have cajoled a few covers from him.

This Jonny Quest story is far from Steve Rude's best work, and I wouldn't even say it's accurately representative of his work at the time. Check out any issue of Nexus from the same period and tell me what you think then. Consider also that this story was done 20 years ago while Rude was still in his 20s. As of now, I'd say Steve Rude is one of the best draftsman in the business, and I think he's learned a lesson or two about storytelling since then.
