Superboy 160 CGC 9.6 OW-WP with Neal Adams cover. 

$375.0 - SOLD

Neal did the pencils and the ink on this cover. I am certain he played a role in the colors as well. I consider this in his top 6 comic book covers, which has no significance in the collecting world (at all) but I like to say it. This is a sweet book in an old case. I was able to upgrade and hence, this copy is for sale.

Conan 37 CGC 9.6 WP Neal Adams cover and art

$125.0 SOLD

A nice copy of a great Adams cover. An almost perfect cover wrap. The Barbarian himself in a fighting pose trying to protect the perfect blonde damsel in distress. All the while the Golden Skull foe screams in the background while controlling the green jelly monster. This cover does not make my top 6, but it is a striking Adams cover none-the-less.

Phantom Stranger 18 CGC 9.4 OW-WP w Neal Adams cover and the classic "blonde"

$165.0  SOLD-SOLD-SOLD!!!

This is another classic Neal Adams cover from the DC bronze age of horror and the perfect "no-words" era. A beautiful dark background gives the characters the perfect contrast for Neal to work his pencil-magic. I consider this in his top 6 for certain but you can buy it just because you like it. No pressure.

World's Finest Comics 180 CGC 9.4 OW-WP Neal Adams cover

$200.0  SOLD SOLD SOLD

This is in an old style CGC case, but I do think you can CPR it to a 9.6 but there are some wizards out there capable of amazing things. Yes, it is another Neal Adams cover, and I am offering this one after getting an upgrade (to first class). From late 1968, this is a dramatic cover with Superman throwing Afleck Batman off the roof. This is prime-Neal work.

House of Mystery 175 CGC 8.5 White Pages, Neal Adams cover

$650.0

There is a lot of goodness in this book and cover. A Neal Adams wordless horror cover, his first in this run. 1st appearance of Cain. White Pages!! just pure, DC horror goodness with some gargoyles added in. Never mind how the kids go on the roof, focus on the story. There is only one 9.6 so this is a tough book to find in grade. And even though Greggy likely has about 20 stashed away, you can actually buy this copy.

Y'all think about these and I will see what else I can find.

Well, maybe it has no significance in the collecting world abroad, but here in this wonderful microcosm of collecting, we thrive on just that sort of pontification! What do you think are his other top covers? Some I'd guess are obvious, but perhaps you have an outlier or two...

I am going to do a journal entry on just this subject. Stay tuned. I bet there will be some surprises, but I will fully detail my thoughts on each. And then the stones and hearts can be cast!

Will it extend to his magazine covers? When I look at the dynamism of some of those mixed-media Savage Tales covers, I'm dumbfounded.

Hopefully, there will be some classic Adams Superboy/Superman constipation covers

No, comic book only. Then I can do magazines as a separate list.
