Best Neal Adams Summer Ever !!!

If you are a true Neal Adams fan, this is the summer for you! We have a fantastic book coming out from Vanguard. I have enclosed below some of the spreads from the book. This book covers more ground than any book on Neal Adams to date. I have seen Ben Casey , early commercial work, a hard to find Vietnam story that rips your heart out. Traditional comic superhero work. Work that he did for Warren. It has a lot of work I have not seen printed for a very long time. Continuity has really opened all the vaults for this book.

We also have "Savage 2" coming out from Continuity this summer. If you are into Savages and
Jungle type men this is the sketchbook for you. It is the second one in a series of Savage books that Continuity has put out. I have a copy right next to me and I see presentation work for a Sinbad show that Neal worked on and great hunky savage types.

"Batman Odyssey' will be out this summer
We handed in more penciled pages this week. We are 15 pages into Issue#8 . And Neal is inking away on issues one and two. We also started color on Issue#1. I will be showing some color work next week with those nice Neal Adams inks.

I think this is going to be a fantastic Neal Adams summer. I know I can't wait !

This is a very big week for Neal Adams and Continuity.

“ BATMAN ODYSSEY, JULY 2010 ”

Neals Batman Odyssey project has been scheduled for July 2010 you can read about it on DC Comics blog. The Superman Vs Muhammad Ali project has also been announced with a June 2010 release. Two fantastic statues will be coming out this year. The Superman Vs Muhammad Ali statue as well as the Man Bat statue. The Man Bat statue, is part of the same series of statues as the Batman statue that came out a while ago. Both the Batman and Man Bat statues are sculpted by Jason (Spyda) Adams and they both are fantastic. Batman was an instant sell out and I’m sure Man Bat will be to. I also know a little secret……..I believe Man Bat is in Neal’s Odyssey project. Joy!

I also have some sneak peaks of the great new coloring of the Superman Vs Muhammad Ali comic done by Moose. The pages are looking great ! Make sure to reserve your copy at your comic retailer. This is the first reprinting of this book and they are doing it at the original size of the first printing, which those books go for $120.00 if you can find one.

I’m sure these will become collectible. A Hot Book!

Update on the Odyssey project for those that have been following. We have turned in the first 3 pages of pencils on Issue #8 And we will be handing over the first cover of the Odyssey project in color on Monday to DC. Not to much further to go…….

Have fun finding Easter Eggs . I know I will.
