Best Neal Adams Batman

[Thanos88]

Nobody mention Bats 232?

 

That's my pick, too. I do like 227, though.

 

227,232,234,244,251 Are my picks,how can you not love these covers.

 

 

 

+1

 

 

also Detective 405,411

dang i wish I had those OA covers so I could color em in with crayons.

[Larryw7]

A toss up between 237("Night of the Reaper") and 251.

[scooter99]

227 is my favorite, however, this one is pretty sweet.

I love 227 but here is one that you don't see often that I think is pretty cool.

Just logged on here to say 255 but you beat me to it. I can't resist looking through that story every time I get a new copy in.

 

Honorable mention to Detective 404 and Batman 243/244.

 

One that is often overlooked is his final regular issue, Batman #255 "Moon of the Wolf"

It has a 1-page PSA, Justice For All Includes Children, by Adams.

Why do you think batman 227 is so highly valued, especially since it is a cover swipe as opposed to an original design? Don't get me wrong, I love it. Just curious...

Batman 227, 232, 244, and 251 are my favorite covers.

[ecfanman]

I've always like Brave and Bold #93 "Red Water, Crimson Death"

[mrc]

 

A personal favourite and the one that I remember most from when I first started buying comics

With all due respect to those choosing issues based on their covers, Adams was unique in breaking from the traditional rectangular panel-based storytelling. Batman #251 is a personal favorite interior:

 

[SuperZar]

Beautiful covers that are true works of art. However I never did like the black outline around the sun of Batman #244, so I'm glad he removed it for JLA. I think that might be Talia on the camel of the JLA cover which is another nice touch.

I don't think originality is a major concern for cover collectors, just execution.

 

Anyway, the reason is that, about a decade ago, it started to be mentioned, discussed and extolled non-stop on this message board.

Batman 251

 

Some of his best ever artwork.

 

+1 followed closely by 227

Love this cover, not only is the artwork and composition great, but the coloring really adds depth and makes it pop! Kudos to whoever the colorist was.

I have always liked this cover:
