I just don't even know what to think about his Indy work, for that matter his later DC covers weren't all that hot either. 

I am an absolute Neal Adams fan for his work up until 1972 or so- incredibly prolific and economical in his delivery.  He was constantly innovating POVs and layouts for very compelling storytelling with exceptional illustration and drafting skills.  Also, I have nothing but the highest praise for what he did for Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the mid-70s.  

But his work really took a weird turn with Continuity.  On a side note, I shared this with @dover before but I was very surprised to see the many, many creatives that worked for him at his studio.  Perhaps his work suffered as he looked after and nurtured the careers of others?

It’s a shame that Neals run on x-men was so short cause he did some amazing work on the title

Have to believe that Neal was in tune with the 1990’s “steroid era of comic books.”

Neal Adams' first comic book cover, I believe (correct me if I'm wrong, but it is undeniably Neal Adams' art):

Time to get Overstreet to note this.

Nah.  There was one on eBay.  Snatched up shortly after I posted in this thread.

They name celestial bodies after individuals who discover them. I wish Overstreet had a reference section that shows someone who first identifies a “first” in the hobby. Identifying the first cover drawn by Neal Adams is a big thing because I never knew what it was until you posted it here. If this is verified then the discovery of this “first” can be attributed to sfcityduck. Put it in the book - Overstreet’s that is.

Well I have to post this one that came back from CGC today.

I love this cover, it gives me Bill Mumy Twilight Zone vibes - "You're a bad man! You're a very bad man!"
