	Merci M. Adams pour ces fabuleux Batman, Green Lantern/Green Arrow et X-Men imprimés dans mes rétines à jamais !

Pour avoir une idée de l'influence de Neal, il suffit de demander à la plupart des cinquantenaires et plus, ou de regarder les 5 premières années de Sienkiewicz.

Pour avoir une idée de son niveau à sa grande époque... parfois, en voyant certains des Rares dessins réalistes de Franquin, j'y trouve une ressemblance avec Adams. Nuff said.

Première publication lue ce matin au réveil grâce à Gourvy, ça m'a fait un choc et bien réveillé du coup.
Effectivement inattendue comme news d'autant que j'avais lu récemment qu'il était sorti d'hosto une fois de plus.
Un vrai bonhomme du comic book qui nous quitte et qui aura bien bossé, pour lui, pour nous, pour le médium comic book et surtout pour ses pairs ! Je sais pas s'il y en aura à nouveau des comme ça !
Respect et condoléances à sa famille !

Je t'invite à lire le témoignage de l'intéressé dans ce sujet, il le considérait comme son mentor et est bouleversé.

Ses épisodes des X-men font partie de mes préférés
Merci pour tout ce que vous avez fait pour le médium
Au revoir Mr Adams

[Hare Mageddon]

X-Men, Batman, Deadman, Ms Mystic, le relooking de Green Arrow, et bien sûr le run de GL/GA ...
Tant de souvenirs, surtout dans la période années 60 - début années 80 ...
Croisé une seule fois pour une signature sur l' album "Pleine Lune" (Albin Michel)

Merci pour tout cela, Mister Adams.
Une vie bien remplie ! RIP !

	Toujours à New York, Jean GIRAUD retrouve Joe KUBERT et Neal ADAMS pour une improvisation commune sur le thème de la boite de Pandore. Jean GIRAUD dessine la boite puis les 3 dessinateurs traitent ce sujet dans le temps, interprétant ce qui s'est échappé de la boite hier, ce qui s'en échappe aujourd'hui et ce qui s'en échappera dans l'avenir.

Tac au tac était vraiment une émission incroyable...
Une question demeure: où sont toutes ces fresques inestimables????
RIP Master Adams

Merci pour tout ce que vous avez fait Mr Adams ; le retour aux sources du Batman avec Denis O'Neil et Green Lantern / Green Arrow toujours avec O'Neil et cette couverture du n° 85.
Je l'avais rencontré une fois à Audincourt ; grand monsieur et grand professionnel ; je suis reparti avec une dédicace sur feuille de Red Sonja et je l'avais même fait signé sur la couverture de l'écho des savanes n° 19 (1ère série) qu'il avait faite ; ce fut un grand moment.
RIP MR Adams et condoléances à sa famille

	Neal Adams... The art world lost one of the greatest comic book artists of all time yesterday. In my opinion, Neal Adams single-handedly changed the look of comics overnight. His artistic impact is so deep and wide that you can still see his influences in comic books today. He has inspired and influenced these giants of comics: Frank Miller, Bill Sienkiewicz, John Bryne, Howard Chaykin, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, Mike Grell, etc. For me, comic book history, thus far, is divided by three eras, Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, and Image Comics. I was too young to be influenced by Jack Kirby and too old to be influenced by Image Comics. But Neal Adams (and few key artists) helped shape and guided me to become the artist and draftsman I am today. Here's the funny part, Neal's comics were not my first exposure to his art. My first exposure to Neals's art was through his Tarzan novel covers. (These two covers to be exact.) I remember just staring at these covers for hours trying to figure out how he drew them, especially his legendary forced perspective angle shots. I later discovered his mainstream comic work when DC Comics started reprinting his Batman and Deadman classics from the 1960s and 1970s. Heady and inspirational stuff. Now, people say, "never meet your heroes". In most cases, it's true, but Neal Adams was one of the delightful exceptions. He took a liking to me right away and treated me like one of his family. Over the years, I hung out and chatted with him at many shows we attended. But my favorite time with Neal was when he and his family took me out to eat after a small show down south. At dinner, Neal regaled us of his time growing up, running a boarding house with his mom. It was a riot. He told us of getting almost blown up by a hand grenade thrown by his aunt's crazy ex-boyfriend, trying to wrestle a naked middle-aged man to put on his cloths, getting almost shot by the police, and seeing a naked woman for the first time, etc. The great part of those stories were that he would start the tale with "I was in the kitchen, drinking my coffee..." and off he went. I told him then and I believe now, he should have wrote and illustrated his boarding house stories and turned it into a comic book. The comic world lost one of its greatest artists and supporters. Neal Adams was our North Star and the industry is less brighter with his absence. Thank you for everything, Neal. We love you and miss you. Rest in peace.

	First, I just want to say that it’s been difficult to realize that I’m sitting at my desk in a world without Neal Adams out there somewhere. That said, here’s a Neal story – so clearly, he IS out there somewhere. Many many years ago, I dropped by a comic convention in NYC. Probably at the old Penta Hotel across from Madison Square Garden. The artists were in some very large room with rather dim lighting. There were a series of tables arranged in hollow squares across the floor with the artists sitinng inside the squares facing outward to sketch and talk to fans. Neal and his daughter, Kris, were there. This was before Neal had rearranged his convention presence with a booth that was only a little smaller than a battleship. There were small ‘aisles’ here and there in the squares that you could slip in and out of the square as necessary. I slipped inside and went and stood behind Neal as he was sketching. Kris was sitting just to his right. It was a Batman sketch and as was Neal’s wont, it was high rendered and really cool. After a few moments, I leaned over and whispered in his ear that he was putting far too much work into a con sketch. He needed to simplify his approach. He looked up over his right shoulder, saw me, and gave his Neal Adams chuckle of amusement. It was good to see him. Then he reached over and elbowed Kris a couple of times and said, “Ask him. Go on. Ask him.” I said, “Ask me what. I’m right here.” Kris, who I had known pretty much since I had gotten into comics, looked up at me, rolled her eyes, and said in a singsong voice, “Neal wants me to ask you if you want to work for Continuity Comics.” I laughed and said to Neal, “I can’t do any work for Continuity Comics.” He said, “Why not?” and I said, “Because I can’t draw like you.” Neal’s eyes narrowed and he growled, “That’s cold. That’s really cold.” And Kris dissolved into a gale of laughter as she said between outbursts, “I told you! I told you!” Now, I kinda wish I had done a little work for Continuity Comics. I’m sure I would have learned something new. All my love, pal. Godspeed.

	Legendary creator Neal Adams passed away yesterday. His impact and legacy to comics was undoubtedly tremendous. Regarding his personal impact on my life (aside from comics) I will always be thankful to him for contributing to the Sakai Project. Rest in peace, Neal.
