Description
Powerful cover image with an in-your-face, "crushing" 3 dimensional quality of intensity, in the spirit of a Jack Kirby manner of presentation, not to mention a 12 Cent Cover from 1968, in my view, the peak production era of Neal's work as DC's go-to Cover Artist. Neal's superior skills and talents uniquely his own, respectful remembrance, acknowledgement, and appreciation for both the person and the artist. This piece a treasure and grateful for the opportunity to acquire and share.

Like many others who grew up in this period, I would purchase a comic solely due to the captivating cover images created by Neal Adams, at times then disappointed to see that Neal was often not the actual interior story artist. Regardless of whoever did the interior art, a book with an Adams cover, beautiful, mesmerizing, and for me back then, a must have! And how to draw someone in a rain drenched hat? That's how, amazingly graphic and detailed in its simplicity!

Thank you Neal for the true legacy of work and inspiration left behind!

Adams' cover artistry was an instant facelift to the DC line.  Definitely was better and more innovative than anything inside as his new ideas gripped the audience showing a level of emotional complexity and design that embodied pop art of the time.

Great cover !!  I think the Superboy stories were really important in showing how the Kents raised their child to be the person he became (ignoring all the revisionist stuff that followed).

Mr. Cipher is one of the coolest looking menaces in DC Comics. A Neal Adams cover too so beautifully drawn. Excellent.
