Neal Adams died yesterday as result of a sepsis infection.\u00a0 Mr. Adams was 80.<\/p>\n

These days the word “legend” is used pretty loosely, but Neal Adams is a true legend in the comic book field.\u00a0 He is known for both his art and his passion for creator’s rights.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Neal Adams is best known for his Batman comics with Denny O’Neil and his Green Lantern\/Green Arrow run, again with Denny O’Neil.\u00a0 Often Neal Adams was asked to draw covers for comics that didn’t have his art inside.\u00a0 A Neal Adams’ cover alone could increase sales.<\/p>\n

Neal Adams opened Continuity Studios which took on comic and commercial art assignments.\u00a0 Neal Adams’ art appeared in magazines, movie posters, book covers and more.<\/p>\n

Neal Adams is in the Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame (1998), the Harvey Awards’ Jack Kirby Hall of Fame (1999) and the Inkwell Awards Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame (2019).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Neal Adams’ RIP write-up is one of the toughest I’ve written.\u00a0 Neal Adams was a huge part of my childhood.\u00a0 When I think Neal Adams, I think of his take on Batman, Superman and Conan.\u00a0 I think about the many times I saw Neal Adams at conventions.\u00a0 He was always smiling.\u00a0 If I had the talent of Neal Adams, I’d always be smiling too.<\/p>\n

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Neal Adams’ family, friends and fans.<\/p>\n\n\n
