Neal Adams Batman has always been my favorite. That statue is really busy and kinda wacky. Is it from a comic or just made for this release?

I met Neal Adams once and had the privilege of watching him draw. He possesses incredible knowledge of human anatomy. Most of his figures are very detailed, lean and muscular, with light and shadow enhanced by aggressive, sweeping curves and contours.
This seems like a loose but recognizable adaptation of his famous cover to Superman #233 from January 1971 (vol. 1). Following his detailed style too closely would increase cost and make the sculpt too fragile, presumably. Interesting anecdote: THE NEAL ADAMS INTERVIEWS: Superman #233 (13thDimension.com, 24-Oct-2013) Quote:
I was sitting in Adams’ Manhattan studio for what would ultimately become this series of columns. His daughter, Kris, walked in wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the famed Superman-breaking-the-Kryptonite-chains. I pointed it out and she nodded toward Adams and told me to ask him what he thought of the pic.
I played along: “Superman 233. Do you like that cover?” “I hate it,” he said, throwing me for a bit of a loop. Last edited by Skoob; 02-27-2017 at 08:29 PM.. |

Why does the Supergirl alternate head remind me of the movie Die Hard 2?

Yeah, the comment seemed out of place, but maybe T1DC thought he was still viewing the photos over on this thread:

Supergirl and the children 2 pack says Sept, so should we guess it will be next April?
