DCC Solicits for March 2017

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)

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.
I like the WW statue. Sexy and strong.

I'd have to watch the Pixel Dan video again to be sure, but if my memory is correct, it isn't based on anything and is apparently the end result of combining multiple statue ideas people were proposing.

Ummm... cool... but the Superman statue shown off at Toy Fair isn't a part of these solicitations...

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:

Toy Fair - DC Collectibles Status and More

Whatever...

t1DC wasn't talking about the Superman statue at all, they were talking about the Batman and Harley Quinn statue, which has a Batman that looks to be styled like how Neal Adams drew him...

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