No image to publish today, but plenty can be found on the website of Neal Adams. Mr. Adams happens to be one of the pioneering artists of the modern age of comics. Having begun his work late in what could be considered the "Silver Age," Mr. Adams' realistic style was instantly eye-catching and signaled the movement from iconic to realistic in art styles. His defining work on many popular characters still resonates today in the modern renditions of Batman, Green Lantern, and even X-Men. Although the realism of past years has definitely faded, his style and dynamic page layouts still influence those artists who've become increasingly interpretive of their characters. I wish I had a good illustration to pique your interest, but one image alone cannot encompass what he is truly capable of.
