Deadmen Tell Great Tales!






Above is a gallery of covers by the great Neal Adams. Adams utterly transformed the whole look of DC Comics in the 60's. He took their covers, which had been long well enough designed and interesting, filled as they were with purple gorillas and golden giants, and brought a powerful modern zest to the whole mishmash. His stuff smacked you on the noggin. Whether he was rendering the designs of Carmine Infantino, or working from scratch, his work had a depth of character unseen in comics at the time.

His Deadman covers for Strange Adventures are among his very best. They utterly demand that you read the stories underneath.

Rip Off
