Neal Adams cover gallery thread. 13 13

What I find fascinating about the first ever drawn Neal Adams cover question is why isn’t it being explored by collectors? I never focused on what was Neal’s first ever cover and there’s been discussion about his first Batman or Superman covers. Still, I’ve never seen a thread about Neal’s first ever drawn cover.

Do not tell anyone but this is a favorite cheese-cake Adams cover for me. Lots of great Lois and Jimmy covers.

I love it - had to have it when I saw it. I just love the soft, "painting" feel to it, the colors, and it's just such a weird premise. And the infinity cover aspect is cool too.

I still enjoy a good barber. Used to be the Barber had to be patient, or patience was required. It isn't a brag. I just enjoy simple things.

Sharing this because I just secured another nice B&theB for my collection.

I hope these grade well as they are needed for the registry set. But, actually really nice covers.

Are some of those Neal Adams? Or were they all? I'm not as familiar with Deadman  Best of work on the registry though, that takes patience.

The first issue reprinted the first two stories from Strange Adventures featuring the Deadman. It also contained an Adams House of Mystery story. I think the main idea was to reprint the SA-Deadman run and then add some other like the Brave and the Bold Batman-Deadman story.

I remember buying these when they came out.  Forgot about them until you posted!

Another Adams added to the registry set. Nothing fancy or fantastic, just quality. Tough book to find well centered.

That IS well centered, looks well in the older case too.

One of Neal's great "no word" covers. Most of these can be found in his HoM run but this one is incredible.

Really want a nice copy of this book.

If you keep a saved search going on ebay for it, something should pop up. They're not super super rare...

Got (2) Neal's today. Here is one of them.

You know you are an Adams-purist when you also buy this book.
