I am shy about posting my Adams Continuity books. Most of them are completely stinky.

No love for Megalith and how he got to be so strong?

Adams was a childhood favorite for me and I was so excited when Megalith hit the stands- swiftly followed by disappointment when I read the comic.  An early object lesson that great artists don't necessarily make good writers.

At one time I had a pretty good Adams collection. Sold all but a few books and now I am building a more strategic position of his work. I still have all the scans and I cry over them from time to time but I am told I need to get over it and don't look back.

Wow.  That hurts a little.  It is almost like Adams is trying to channel Liefield.

I suppose that at the time that is what the market was looking for.

I love that you can still snag Adams covers on 60s/70s DC's for almost nothing, if you aren't super picky about condition.  Those Superboys aren't great on the inside, but those Adams covers are wonderful.

Yes! When I returned to collecting, the first run I knew I would purchase / complete would be the Superboy run by Adams.

One of Neal's "many faces" covers. He did several.

The Strange Adventures one is awesome as well.

Speaking of Adams Crowds....

I don't see this one posted very often. Going to resub this one with a light press, but here it is before. Hoping to become a 9.2

Tough book. Maybe the toughest Adams cover?
