Adams, Arthur - Longshot 3 Pg 21

I've wanted an Arthur Adams page for quite a while, and have lost out on eBay (to people here on CAF!) on a number of pages. But when I saw this for sale, I knew I had to have it. From Adams' first series, a terrific page from a terrific book. I love the people, the backgrounds, the vehicles, everything! Portacio probably didn't know what he was getting into when he agreed to ink this...look at all the leaves, blades of grass, strands of hair, and that shoulder belt of knives Longshot used to throw! Pages from this series look much better to me in glorious black and white than they ever did in color; I'd love to see an Essential type collection of the Longshot series specifically, but the majority of Adams' early work would probably be able to be appreciated even more were it all seen in B&W. Anyway, big thanks to Dan Gallo (here on CAF) for letting me slowly get this page (check out his Comic Art Con, a comic book artwork only convention in the NYC area)! Oh, and if you look closely at the bottom, below the actual art, you'll discover what Adams does while working!
