Hi folks, let's celebrate the work of Mr. Neal Adams (1941-2022), one of the most talented and influential artists ever to grace comics (to state the obvious). Post a Neal Adams-penciled comic book cover--but here's the catch: no DC or Marvel covers (or DC/Marvel-sponsored promotional comics). And let's omit Fantagraphics' Amazing Heroes too, since IMHO that's not really a comic book. YMMV Anyway there's more to Neal than DC or Marvel, such as: Continuity Valiant Pacific Atlas/Seaboard Archie others?? If possible, note the publisher and year of your cover. I admit I'm not too familiar with his non-DC/Marvel work and your covers will help me remedy this deficiency (yes, an ulterior motive!) Also: the cover needs to be penciled by Neal and not just inked or "finished" or colored by him. If he did the other stuff too on your cover that's icing on the cake, but the minimum requirement here is that he was the penciler. The Cover Contest Constitution:
-Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest. -Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before July 2012. -Please include the title and the issue number of the comic in case some posters cannot see your image. -Covers must be posted before voting begins. -Voting takes place on Tuesday, July 12, 2022, beginning at 12:01am PST and ending at 11:59am PST. -Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most. -Put the name of your choice in bold. -The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends. -The winner chooses the theme for the next week's contest. -If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't vote for it; please don't post disparaging remarks about it. -If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins. My example: Ms. Mystic #1, 1982 Publisher: PacificOkay, I've said enough! Have at it and have fun!!!

Farrar, you have a singular talent for a) picking the cover that I would have posted and b) launching your contest at some ungodly hour in the middle of the night (my time) so all of my other top choices get picked. Anyway... Six Million Dollar Man #1 (Charlton magazine, 1976)

I don't see how Skateman could lose. In fact, I think I'll pull out my copy and read it tonight.

I really want to post this. It's an internal comic book from National Lampoon. If TPTB deem it as invalid, I will give it a disclaimer, but I am still posting it.
