Neal Adams cover gallery thread. 13 13

[kimik]

Here are a couple of hold for now books that I don't think I have posted yet. I am toying with the idea of building 9.4 WP runs of Bat & Tec again, as well as some other nice Adams cover books.

Which Archie issues? I have a couple of his first ones.

I have documented Archie's Joke Book. 45, 46, 47 in my Journal. I used Comics.org for this and took pictures from my own copies. Because he drew in the "Archie" style it is really impossible to recognize his pencils. 

I need to do the same for 41, 44 and 48. But, also in my journal is a list of panels with unknown books. I have no idea to track those down.

I got 4 "Neal" covers today. This one is the best. It does not make my top 5, but it could be in my top ten.

A beautiful cover, but that's Jim Aparo, not Neal Adams

Picked this one up today for a measly $3. This issue used to be in the box of comics that were at my grandpa's house, but a remaindered copy missing half the cover - and by the last time I remember seeing it, it probably didn't have even that any more. I remember reading this issue often as a kid, pretty much any time we stayed at their house. I do have some of his old books, but not sure what ever happened to this one. Happy to have a copy in the collection now.

 Funny, I thought just before posting, is that Adams? I said to myself,  someone will soon let me know if it's not.

I believe 41 USED to be thought of as Adams but then got dropped. Hasn’t been listed as Adams in Overstreet for years.

This is definitely Adams though.

Agreed.

Here are the other books I received. I think I just hit 260 slabbed Adams. I cannot remember what my first collection attained but this second go around is doing well. I don't think I can get the #1 spot and I know the person that owns it will not easily give it up, but I am looking to get to #2 and have a much broader scope of work. And I think I am the only fool to collect his Continuity work and Non-Marvel/DC covers but that is the collector's addiction I have.

Love this Neal Adam’s cover.  But I just noticed Batman’s right hand (poking from under the cape). What is happening there? Am I nitpicking or is that another wonk-limb like Joker’s leg on 251?

Here are a couple of other Adams books I forgot I had:

Finally found copies of these books at a reasonable valuation.

I have an addiction and it is getting worse.
