Arthur Adams - Sampler VI Cover

 

(click for larger image). I love, love, love Arthur Adams!  He's been one of my favorite artists since he first began working in comics in the mid-80's.  My comic book reading has always been dictated by the artists rather than the writers, so I have read everything Arthur has ever drawn.  He has a wonderful, cartoony style that is unlike anyone else, and he can draw anything and make it look good.  Two things he excels at, among the many, are his depictions of monsters and women.  I've been collecting female pin-ups by him and when this piece became available I jumped on it.  This piece is a nod to Snow White and features a beautiful damsel in distress, as well as the monster-like dwarves that are helping the evil witch find her.  Arthur puts so much texture and detail into these pieces - they are similar to fine engravings.  I just love everything about this piece; it's sexy, scary, and superbly inked.  Another Adams masterpiece!

Heeeeeere's Jonni!!

One of my favorite characters from Alan Moore's ABC line of comics was Jonni Future. The reason is simple - Art Adams. Art really pushed himself to a new level while working on the book, and I'm really pleased to have another Jonni piece in my collection. The amount of work he puts into these pinups is just incredible. (Pencils and inks by Art Adams. Click for larger image)

Art Adams Storm 2

After about 5 years of admiring this piece, I've finally been able to add it to my collection! This was originally done one month after my Art Adams Jonni Future pinup way back in 2004. I'd seen it change hands a few times, and let the last owner know that I wanted it next! I think these pinups that Art has done in the past several years are some of his best. Now I need to go find another one to covet... :) (click for larger image)

Art Adams Wolfman

I can't get enough of these incredibly rendered Art Adams pinups. While I generally prefer the sexy female characters he does, this one was too nice to pass up. (click for larger scan.)

Jonni Future Page

I am a big fan of the Jonni Future series for one simple reason - Art Adams. The guy did some of the best work of his carreer on the books. One collector purchased all the art for the first five or so issues, making loose pages very scarce. (Pencils and inks Art Adams. Click for larger view.)

Art Adams Storm

Have to give a shout out to my good friend Mario for selling me this piece. Hey Mario! I LOVE it!! (Pencils and inks Art Adams. Click for larger image.)

Art Adams Jonni Future

This was my first Art Adams pinup. He did this one personally for me so I guess that makes it a little extra special. I'm a HUGE fan of Jonni Future, so I was stoked when I got this piece. (Pencils and inks Art Adams. Click for larger image.)

Art Adams Batgirl

Art kills me with these awesome pinups. I absolutely love having them in my collection. If you have one and are considering selling, please contact me! (Pencils and inks Art Adams . Click for larger image.)

Art Adams Powergirl

Art Adams has really kicked it up a notch in recent years. This Powergirl piece is what he calls a convention "sketch". They aren't cheap, but I think they're worth every penny. I'm looking for more of these (Art Adams pencils and inks. Click for larger image).

CFA-APA 64 Still Going Strong

This issue of the CFA-APA is dedicated to artists that have been working for 20 years or more. I chose Art Adams because he was an early favorite of mine, and his stuff today is better than ever. You can read my submission by clicking on the image.
