Great Book, I hope they adapt it for live action one day!
That would be great, though in the mean time I am looking forward to the animated film currently being made...

The Byrne era is one of my favourites, also for X-Men. Would love to see Diablo as a villain on the big screen some day. And a proper Galactus.
Great stuff! Wait till you get to Kirby & Sinnott! Yowza, yowza!!
Interesting read for a Cave fan.
Byrne's run was great, as was Simonson's. But the Lee & Kirby issues early in Sinnott's tenure, introducing the Inhumans, Galactus & the Silver Surfer, and the Black Panther over the course of about a year or so, are simply unequaled for comic book brilliance.
Context is always important. On the heels of the camp TV series of the '60s, Batman was in danger of losing the attention of most serious comics fans. With the O'Neill & Adams "Creature of the Night" revamp, Batman suddenly had lots more cred with the readership than had been the case a few months earlier.
I know the story. Striking image.
One thing I noticed about Neal Adams: The Moon is always full.
Got hold of a magazine from 1973 I read as a kid. Ranch-serien no. 119, featuring RINGO KID and a few other comics. Great nostalgic trip.
One of the Masters.
Agreed. And a true gentleman.
Did you meet him?
My first apartment was rather small, so some of my stuff got stowed away in my mother s attic. I later learned that my Tempo collection, and other stuff, had gone to recycling. Oh well.
Visiting my mom this weekend, I found out that the collection hadn t gotten that far. It had been removed from the attic and carried down to the basement and then been forgotten about, hiding under something else. Got to bring it home three decades later and have started rereading. A nice surprise!
Yes.
Oh, you want details? Okay... for several years in the '80s/'90s I was involved in the comics biz as a distributor and convention organizer. Eisner was a guest at my convention a few times and I had the opportunity to interview him on stage, as well as spending a bit of time with him on a personal level. As I was working in distribution while his "Spirit" material was being reprinted regularly for the direct sales market by Kitchen Sink Press, Will was very interested in whatever small insights I might be able to share on the workings of the comicbook marketplace at that time. In our first phone conversation arranging his appearance at NamelessCon (I DO have a secret identity to keep secret, y'know) I initially called him "Mr. Eisner" out of the purest level of respect ...until he replied to me as "Mr. SansEarmuffs." (Secret ID, okay?) Oh, I get it thinks I, asking the Master: "Would you like me to call you 'Will'?" His response: "If I can call you 'Beatles.'" Case closed. Will Eisner, in addition to being one of the all-time greats in the comics field, was also a heckuva nice guy and a true gentleman in my book.
Quite the stroke of good fortune, finding those old un-recycled mags from decades ago. What was the cover feature you've shown here? The character being shoved off the train looks almost like Archie, given his red hair and all -- and the train cliff-hanger could almost be from a Bond tale! 00Archie? I've seen plenty of "The Man From R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E." offerings, but nothing ever as thrilling as this seems to be! Is "Allan Falk" the lead character here?
Nice little story about Eisner there. I knew you were in the business, so I guessed as much.
1956-1962
I already had book two and three. This one contains his work from 1967-1969. and much of it new to me.
I've held off on buying that series because I've heard Adams has retouched and revised his art. I would rather have the comics as they originally appeared, especially since Adams's more recent artwork is mannered and less attractive.
I agree with you on his later work. These books are all beautiful, though. And I have much of his early work from before, at least from the 70s.
Set in 1925. Nowhere near as good as the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
