Are you sure this is Neal? I don't see a signature, and it doesn't look like his work to me

You are right. There is no signature on the commission I ordered. But there is a certificate of authenticy at the back with Neals signature anď finger print. So I hope it is also drawn ba him

Wow, cool. always felt the original looked unfinished. Batman looked too skinny & his stomach muscles too light. This one fills it out more.

I agree with Aric Shapiro,I'm pretty sure that this is not a Neal Adams comission and I'm also not sure that the certificate ist real.

So what is your statement ? That I am faking commissions and certificates or that I am being fooled by Jason or Neal Adams. I would really appreciate a clarification instead of hints. If you compare this commission with the cover of Batman 245 the similarities are quite obvious. But to put an end to these accusations and so called expert opinions without detailed explanations I will send this comments to Jason Adams and ask him for a clear statement. I would also appreciate some backgrounds on my email account how you come to the opinion. At least Aric did not answer my request for deeper insights.

Hi Bernd, Hey if at any time you'd like to have this signed, Neal will be happy to do it. I don't know how many times Neal finishes up a commission that I have to go back to him to get him to sign it. maybe 20% of the time. If I don't catch it, at least there's the certificate on the back signed by him. Neal is actually quite proud of how this drawing came out, so I can't imagine how anyone can doubt he drew it, and as far as the certificate goes, since we make them ourselves, Neal signs and also finger prints them, I can't imagine why someone would say after looking at an image on the internet that they "can not be sure the certificate is real." Very odd statement. There's my hand writing, Neal's signature, and Neal's finger print, on the back of what is unmistakably Neal's art. Perhaps it is the angle of which the photo was taken? Jason Spyda Adams (Neal's son)

Hi Jason thx a lot for clarifying. I hope the comments of this so called experts stop now and we all can enjoy the art which is actually the reason for putting up a site like these

From a neutral Point of View i find it disgusting how Collectors Are wrongly accused. Good that this solved. I still think it very weak that after all this public accusations there are no serious and honest apologies from Ari and Steele what is what decent people should do. If I look at the piece I can understand that Neal is very proud

How much did he pay you. That's none of your Business and by The way why should apologize? I Just don't believe everything anderen Forum ne as an expert this commission didn't look Like a Neal Adams and i was wrong. Erare humanum est.
