WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24th @ 5:30pm EST:
NEAL ADAMS AND THE END OF THE SILVER AGE webinar via NY Adventure Club!
The body of work Neal Adams (1941-2022) produced near the end of the Silver Age of Comics (1956-70) caused something akin to a revolution in the look of comic book art itself.
Adams’ unique blend of dynamic anatomy and photographic realism made the superheroic fantasy worlds of comic books visually believable in ways never before seen; he once said, “If superheroes really existed, they would look the way I draw them.”
While Adams forged definitive artistic identities for several leading characters at both DC and Marvel Comics, from Batman to the X-Men, his visual acuity enabled his writer collaborators to break new ground telling the kinds of stories that could be told in comic books.
So come join comic book art historian Arlen Schumer (author/designer, The Silver Age of Comic Book Art) as he presents an overview of Adams’ illustrious Silver Age career, dynamically displaying his comic book panels, pages and covers so that you’ll feel like you’re seeing them for the first time!
