Neal Adams is a prominent figure in the comic book industry, recognized for ushering in the modern-day look of classic DC characters such as Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and Green Arrow as well as frequently challenging the comic book industry's practices in the 1960's and 70's. Along with writer and collaborator Denny O'Neill, he took Batman back to his darker roots and gave comic books a sense of relevance by addressing social issues from racism to drug use in the pages of Green Lantern/Green Arrow. His photo-realistic style, gritty take on superheroes and unconventional panel structure was unlike anything at the time.
Mr. Adams was also an active presence in securing creators' rights to their work. Notably, he helped secure the return of original Marvel artwork to comic book legend Jack Kirby, among others, and was a pivotal figure in the long-overdue recognition and compensation of Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster from DC Comics. The establishment of Mr. Adam's Continuity Studios in 1971 helped launch the careers of many of today's top talent.
