Top 3 Neal Adams Books?

[BlissComics]

 

Neal Adam's work is what I remember most from the comics of my childhood.

 

In board member's opinion, what are the three most memorable, important, or key comics that Neal Adams did?

[mackenzie999]

Back when I was huge Adams fan, I'd say Green Lantern/Green Arrow 76 and the Batman Ra-as al Ghul (sp?) issues were my favorites.

Batman 227 with the Detective 31 cover swipe seems to be a favorite amongst collectors, too.

1. Batman #227 (not a key, but collectors love this cover)

2. GL/GA #76 ( a key, and a great cover)

3. ? not sure, alot of good candidates though. (Bats 232, Supes 233, etc.)

I'm going to discount the Adams covers-only and focus on the old-school idea that it was Neal's cinematographic storytelling as well as his photo-realistic rendering that made his work so special.

 

So, I'll go with

 

1) Brave & Bold 79 (Adams' signature character Deadman and his first chance to really illustrate Batman his own way)

 

2) Green Lantern 76 (naturally)

 

3) Batman 251 (Sets the stage for all subsequent depictions of the Joker)

I like those choices a lot. The one I'd add, which probably no one but me would put on the list, is House of Mystery 186. It contains my favorite Adams story of all time.

I was about to ask, why no love for Neal's Marvel work? The Skrull/Kree Avengers arc. His X-men work. Some of my favorites.
