N Adams pencils from X-men GN God Loves, Man Kills circa 1982, unpublished by Marvel.

I'd thought about something like this for the "what books are likely to go up in value in the next Overstreet?" thread. My premise is with CGC, people are more interested in the display value than reading value of a book, so the cover ought to factor in to the demand to a greater extent than before. Adams interior artwork has long demanded a premium in Overstreet (compared to surrounding issues). Now may be the time for highlighting Adams cover-only books. For instance, everyone knows about the premium placed on this book:

But what about these

Here's my only Adams piece of art (so far!!), the climax of the Batman & Man-Bat story in Detective #407. Still looking for a nice X-Men page from the '60s.

 

Enjoy!

Great thread.

 

This puppy is heading out to CGC shortly. Neal's books are some of the only DC's I own.

One Neal Adams that isn't well now. STAR SPAGLED WAR STORIES #134. Russ Heath cover, but inside art is Adams. Just got mine graded, came back 9.2.

 

Another favorite; Batman #237 Grim Reaper cover.

Action 419 is a classic for sure--good choice! From Beyond the Unknown 3 is an obscure sci-fi classic too, gotta love the incoming earth comet.

Gotta love Phantom Stranger. But in looking at these covers it is amazing. Almost all of them are really powerful. Some first class things here!

[COI]

What's the exact title of that? Dc Super Spectacular #6? Or World's greatest Superheroes #6? Excuse my DC ignorance.

[COI]

Yep. Adams is definetly one of the best, past, present and future.

I HATE this. Every once in a while I see a totally unrelated to precode horror post and start to really appreciate what I am seeing. But my money can only go so far. It is torture!

Andrew,

It is listed under DC Super Spectacular #6. 1 of the tougher early DC 100 pg comics to find in any condition.
