Neal Adams Strange Adventures 208, Page 11


This page is one of my favorite pieces in my collection. It's an all out action page done in 4 panels. The inking on this page is as good as you will ever see from Neal Adams. (Pencils and inks Neal Adams. Click for larger image.)

Update 09-18-2011:

I loaned some art to the Jordan Schnitzer Museum at the University of Oregon last year for their Art of the Superhero - Faster Than a Speeding Bullet exhibit. I found this cool video on youtube with curator Ben Saunders discussing the art with the U of O president Richard Lariviere. Note this piece in the background.

UPDATE: SOLD THIS PIECE IN AUGUST OF 2008!

This was the first piece of Neal Adams art I ever purchased. I developed a fondness for Neal's work on Deadman (Strange Adventures & Brave and the Bold) via the reprints done in the 1980's. As mentioned previously, I focus primarily on 1980's artwork, and even though these stories were originally published in the late 1960's, I only became aware of them much later on.

UPDATE: SOLD THIS PIECE IN AUGUST OF 2008!

I happen to think that Neal Adams' best comic work was done immediately upon entering the comic book industry (1967?). Currently, I have four pages of art by Neal; three are from this period, and one from the early 70's. I think Neal's inking is better on the earlier stuff (although, the 1970's Batman page isn't too shabby either!), and really enjoy owning these pieces. (Pencils and inks Neal Adams.

CFA-APA 71 International Artists


The CFA-APA organization had once again plotted to make me look bad by choosing another topic I don't know much about; international artists. I am a big fan of a lot of the erotic artists from around the world, especially Horacio Altuna and Paolo Eleuteri Serpieri (in fact I used to own a beautiful Druuna page by Serpieri), but chose instead to write about an American artist that I've long been a fan of; Neal Adams. There was already an issue of the CFA-APA dedicated to Adams but since I wasn't a member at the time, I thought I'd take a crack at writing about him in this issue. You can read my submission by clicking on the image.

Neal Adams The Batman



SOLD!!  JULY 2013

Comic art doesn't get much better than this. You've got arguably the greatest comic book artist of all time doing the character he's best known for, on one of the best Batman stories he ever did (The Joker's Five Way Revenge - Denny O'Neil script). You've also got Neal Adams inking himself which is rare on Batman interiors. Aside from getting a nice cover, I don't think I'm going to do much better (click for larger image).
