Seemed like he was pretty active up to the end.

Sepsis. Dammit.

I feel for his family - seems like they were very active in his life and business.

A giant. RIP.

I didn't read the article yet, but sepsis is a fiend from hell

RIP to the man who fought for Kirby and may have essentially created the OA hobby as a by product

He was fun to talk to, a big smile that seemed to cover a big heart. I bet he was tough though, tough as nails. And a great artist.

I was surprised to learn he was 80. He had a lot of vitality and energy the last time I saw him before covid. I guess he was just one of those very engaged people. I’m sorry to hear to hear this.

My condolences to his friends and family. He did wonderful work both on boards and in helping creators.

So many legendary covers and pages. Here’s one that might not be the first to come to mind but was always my favorite. Rest In Peace Neal.

Adams was a real god.

He re-created comic story-telling the way he opened up pages with his layouts. He advanced what Eisner pioneered. His characters were larger than life, but nonetheless, real people. Without an Adams, would we have seen a Byrne, a Lee, or any number of artists who used his work to learn how to draw? Apart from getting artists their art back, he apparently helped boost their pay (I don’t know the details).

He was a bit full of himself, and a real salesman of his work, but when you got past the “I’m Neal Adams”, he was a good guy (and an “old school” liberal).

What a giant. Will be missed.

Sad news, here's a cover he made for an European comics magazine that fit to the situation.

Jack, Stan, Steve and now Neal- the guys who really sparked our interest in comics have now all left us. Thank you guys for blessing us with your imagination and talent.
