Neal Adams, Ben Casey, April 15, 1966

Neal Adams turned 80-years old on June 15.

I’ve been planning for months to pay tribute to great strips, and great strip artists, in the month of June, updating my blog and CAF.

Had I been able to logically put two and together, this update would have run on his actual birthday, not today.

In other words, I’m a few weeks late… and a more than a dollar short. Ack.

I have a lot of “favorite” artists, but the one who had the most impact on me as a youngster was — you guessed it — Neal Adams.

Fun fact: A collection of all Neal’s Ben Casey strips should be considered a holy grail of archival reprints.

(We tried. We really tried.)

Can’t win them all.
