Description

With the highly-anticipated James Gunn Superman movie due to be released in less than a month’s time I am reminded of a remark that Denny O’Neil made in an interview I read many many years ago. He said that Neal Adams had told him that if superheroes were to ever exist then they would look like the way he drew them.

That COA tells me exactly what time period this was done in! It even has the bitterness of needing to say this piece was legally obtained.

Yes, it was sad. Damage limitation. Many long-time collectors will have heard about one professional – no longer with us but there is still no need to name and shame him – who was reputed to have gone into the Marvel offices (perhaps DC’s too) and left with armloads of OA for reasons on which you can only speculate.

Thank you for your comment with which it is hard to disagree. Neal was a titan, and creators and fans owe him him a large debt of gratitude. Creators for fighting for their rights, and the return of all their original artwork. Fans for the ability to acquire that artwork through legal channels, but more than that for all the superlative work he created over more than half a century, off and on, which continues to entertain and inspire. He was often imitated, but there ever was and there ever will be only one Neal Adams. We were lucky to have had him.
