Neal Adams: The DC Years. CBM Special Issue for 1996! In the tradition of the Jim Steranko special issue published in 1995 (see #28), #40 focuses on the body of comic book art that Neal Adams produced for DC Comics between 1967 and 1974. Not to slight the incredible work Adams produced for Marvel at the same time, but the overwhelming majority of his output was for DC, and in it Adams forged definitive artistic identities for several leading characters. This issue displays all the artistic highlights of Adams' singular style, a unique blend of photographic realism, dynamic anatomy, cartooning stylizations, and cinematic storytelling and panel breakdowns that signaled a sea of change in the look of comic book art. In an in-depth interview, Adams reveals the details of his entry into DC Comics and the subsequent revolutionary and revelatory changes he initiated, from his influential pen-and-brush inking to his breakthrough innovations in coloring and production. Highlighted are never-before-seen thumbnail pencils to some of Adams' most famous published pages. Cover by Adams features the Spectre, Deadman, Green Arrow and Batman. B&W with color gallery. Cover price $4.95.
