Beatles fan, eh?

 

no, I wasn't born till a good while after their heyday. But the cover and interior story is still really entertaining to me.

[TeddieMercede]

Adam Strange ?!

[Mayor006]

Huh, I had no idea he did Thor 179.

[kimik]

I totally forgot about his From Beyond the Unknown run. That is a very nice sci-fi cover. (thumbs u

[scooter99]

Love them all, Tec 400 and 402 rock. Also digging the Witching Hour 10.

[paperheart]

first group that i had to struggle to find 7 to choose. tec 402 my favorite

[otherworldsj33]

Each suceeding year, it seems like its getting tougher to choose.

[mrlatko]

Detective #395 from January of 1970 will be included next round. It was accidentally skipped!

[mrlatko]

Not much love for the Lanterns so far this round!

To be honest, the GL covers are not that great. Outside of #76, the only ones that are above average are probably #79, #85, and #87. That is it. His covers on the Bats and Tec runs were much better than the GL run artistically.

[drbanner]

Agreed, GL 85 is the best of his run on this title. There are so many good Bats/Detective covers comparatively.

 

When did Hot Wheels 2 become attributed to Adams? I didn't get the memo!!

I need to bust your chops on your 10,000th post! I prefer #78 to #85. That yellow really pops, and I love that GL and GA are portrayed as villains. #85 was always just kinda OK to me. Powerful message, but hard to make a heroin addict into an exciting cover.

Hold on a sec, are we also voting on the colour in addition to the artwork? I thought voting was based solely on the artwork.

Voting should be based on your favorites, period. However someone decides to classify the various factors that make a cover appealing to them is up to the eye of the beholder. If you think the colors accentuate the Adams pencils on a particular issue and that is why you like it, vote for it!

My votes...

 

From Beyond the Unknown 3

Detective Comics 400

Batman 222

Phantom Stranger 8

House of Mystery 187

Detective Comics 402

House of Secrets 87

 

I've found it quite difficult to make 7 choices in each 1970 section so far. The ones I like most this time are Detective Comics 400 and 402. From Beyond the Unknown 3 is a very nice cover, one I haven't seen before.
