Celebrate illustrator-writer Neal Adam's life and works through a career spanning zine that encompasses his comics and advertising achievements. After graduating the School of Industrial Art in 1959, his skill and determination took him quickly into comic strips and advertising in the early 1960s up until his entry into the comic book industry, which began with Warren magazines and later DC Comics. His late 1960s superhero books allowed room in this fantastic genre to allow for illustrative realism which elevated the tastes and expectations of a hungry audience. In the 1970s he began a public relations campaign that struck a blow against corporate interests, allowing Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster to claim credit for creating Superman. His emotional and artistic impact from his Superman vs. Muhammad Ali comic book continues to be felt, and he left mainstream comic book penciling to focus on publishing independent comics. He continued his excellence in an advertising career in the 1980s and returned to mainstream superhero comics and the convention circuit in the 2000s to finally answer some fan favorite questions like who the Green Lantern and Green Arrow were based on, which actor was his favorite Superman, and so on.
