Kirby's Kids

Doc and Angus celebrate Neal Adams all year long in 2025 and in this sixth installment they reflect on Neal's contributions to horror comics in celebration of Halloween Horror Month. Next up is his work on Deadman!

Deadman: Book One

https://www.amazon.com/Deadman-Book-One-NEAL-ADAMS-ebook/dp/B00J4ZT9LI/

DEADMAN features spectacular, bravura artwork by Neal Adams, then leading the field with an amazing, hyper-realistic style and trompe-l'oeil unlike anything seen in comics before or since.

Collects STRANGE ADVENTURES #205-213.

We read Strange Adventures (vol.1; #206-#211)

Adam’s may not have created Deadman but he started drawing him in his 2nd comic and helped define Deadman. The 1st story & all of the Adams stories were reprinted in 1985 as a 7-issue series.

Doc and Angus celebrate Neal Adams all year long in 2025 and in this fifth installment they reflect on Neal's contributions to horror comics in celebration of Halloween Horror Month. First up is his work on The Spectre!

The Spectre (1967-1969)

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08F784SPG

We read The Spectre (Issues #2-5) 1967-1968 . These issues don’t make a continual arc however they are strong self-contained stories with stunning Adams' illustrations.

In issue #2 there is a text page titled "Spectre interviews Neal Adams", which is used as a funny introduction of Adams into the art chores of the title.

He is responsible for Star Wars comics becoming a reality with Marvel! The Force will be with him, always.
