Once I figure out how to post scans in threads I'll throw up a bunch :ooops:

, I just realized that the majority of my bronze and silver collection consists of the finest comic book artist of our time. ( as probably everyone else's collection since he seemed to draw every cover during this time )

Ok... Hope I've done this right. I don't think anyone did Batman better then Adams.

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 1:15 PM

Probably my favourite Batman cover by Adams

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 1:16 PM

Definitely my favourite Tomahawk by Adams...

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 1:17 PM

Another Batman ...

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 1:18 PM

Lastly, for now, beautiful wraparound cover by Adams on this Superman

Thanks Jeff, I have the whole Adam's run of Tomahawk in nice grade and actually found that I enjoyed reading them. They aren't too bad when it comes to stories. I never knew that he was called Tomahawk because his real name was " Tommy Hawk "

I'm glad there's another that can appreciate this comic. It seems so under appreciated some days

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 2:49 PM

Ok....Time for more Adam's goodness.. this one is a beauty that I grabbed at a con for $30.00 CDN...what's that...about $10.00 USD

:silly:

does this qualify as grey tone...

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 2:50 PM

Wouldn't be a NA thread without ol' faithful ....

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 2:51 PM

I agree wholeheartedly Paul. I was fortunate enough to grow up when most Tomahawks were junk/quarter box fodder and got to read a big part of them. It ended up being one of my favorite non-mainstream titles. Unfortunately I never ran into that issue in a quarter box and I think the prospects now are pretty slim. It kinda sucks being a bottom-feeder when the masses discover how great some of this formerly-neglected "crap" really is.

Hey...don't knock yourself Jeff. I found that patience is a virtue these days and you can find these for some great prices still. Consider yourself lucky to find them so cheap back in the day.

From my LCS... this sat in their back issue section for 4 years before I bought it for $40 this past spring.

And another...

I sent this one in for slabbing myself.

Slight spinner rack bend otherwise I think it is 9.4 candidate.

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 3:36 PM

You've just posted some of the finest Adam's Batman covers ever done !!! :partydrop:

Mr. Zipper · **Joined:** Apr 25, 2007 2:21 AM **Posts:** 6033

yet another from that same collection.

(Unfortunately, I don't have a big scan in photobucket.)

Not knocking myself (at least not at the moment) but I am such a *cheapskate* that for most books I just have to live vicariously through others' collections. I got kind of jaded dealing comics as a kid in the 70s that I just have a hell of a time paying today's prices on stuff I used to get for a song. That said, I can't bitch too much. I do have an uncanny knack for digging up Gerber 7-9s and quite a bit of unknown stuff over the years. I've been blessed enough to own quite a few items that most will never see so it ain't all bad. :righton:

Now keep them scans coming!!!

Don't we all wish hindsight was 20/20 in this hobby ! :righton:

Now.. a few more scans...but Steve certainly raised the bar..so let me bring it down a notch again. :silly:

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 3:53 PM

Ok.. a couple of Lois Lane's....

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 3:54 PM

Paul Clairmont · **Posted:** Oct 16, 2008 3:55 PM

Did Adams color his own covers?

The gradiated orange background seems to be a recurring scheme on his covers.

I don't know.... I can't see him having the time with all the work he churned out. He may have just had his own say on how he wanted the overall look and collaborated with the inker and colourist.
