Such a great talent. I grew up on his art, especially his early DC HOM/HOS work. He will be missed.

Popular Post Randall Dowling Posted April 30 Popular Post Share Posted April 30 I don't recall the death of a comic book artist affecting me as much as Neal's passing has. I spoke with him on a couple of occasions and he was incredibly friendly and had a broad smile that lit up the place. His work played such an important part of my love for comics from my earliest years. I remember reading a beat up copy of Giant-size X-men 2 and being swept up in one of the best stories I'd ever read to that point (I was a whole 7 years old, I'd been around). Over the years, I kept finding more of his work from the 60s and 70s and being enthralled with it. When I discovered the wonderful world of comic magazines, I was thrilled to find so many examples of work, both covers and interiors, that Neal had produced. It felt like a hidden treasure trove and I couldn't get enough. Truth be told, I still can't. I never grow tired of looking at it. In celebration of his life and work, here are a few original art pages of his work from Creepy 14 (not mine, taken from the internet): OtherEric, jdandns, The Lions Den and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axe Elf Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Let the "Axe Elf is Randall Dowling" rumors begin; I just posted this same story in the other RIP Neal Adams thread (it's his comics debut), at basically the exact same time that you posted this here.
