Neal Adams (born June 15, 1941)[1][2] is an American comic book and commercial artist known for helping to create some of the definitive modern imagery of the DC Comics characters Superman, Batman, and Green Arrow; as the co-founder of the graphic design studio Continuity Associates; and as a creators-rights advocate who helped secure a pension and recognition for Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.
Adams was inducted into the Eisner Award's Will Eisner Comic Book Hall of Fame in 1998, and the Harvey Awards' Jack Kirby Hall of Fame in 1999.
Batman's enduring makeover was contemporaneous[39] with Adams and O'Neil's celebrated and, for the time, controversial revamping of the longstanding DC characters Green Lantern and Green Arrow.
Rechristening Green Lantern vol. 2 as Green Lantern/Green Arrow with issue #76 (April 1970), O'Neil and Adams teamed these two very different superheroes in a long story arc in which the characters undertook a social-commentary journey across America.[40] A few months earlier, Adams updated Green Arrow's visual appearance by designing a new costume for the character in The Brave and the Bold #85 (Aug.-Sept 1969).[41] A major exemplar of what the industry and the public at the time called "relevant comics",[42] the landmark run began with the 23-page story "No Evil Shall Escape My Sight" and continued to " ...And through Him Save a World" in the series' finale, #89 (May 1972).[43] It was during this period that one of the best known O'Neil/Adams stories appeared, in Green Lantern #85-86, when it was revealed that Green Arrow's ward Speedy was addicted to heroin.[44][45] Wrote historian Ron Goulart,These angry issues deal with racism, overpopulation, pollution, and drug addiction. The drug abuse problem was dramatized in an unusual and unprecedented way by showing Green Arrow's heretofore clean-cut boy companion Speedy turning into a heroin addict. All this endeared DC to the dedicated college readers of the period and won awards for both artist and writer. Sales, however, weren't especially influenced by the praise, and by 1973 the crusading had ceased. I remember dropping in on [editor] Julius Schwartz about this time and asking him how relevance was doing. 'Relevance is dead', he informed me, not too cheerfully.[34]

I too learned my first German words from culturally insensitive war comics.

I suppose it helped that I was raised Catholic.

Heh. Also, Jacob has the most laser [chat]s*. Neal Adams is still one of the best.
*maser, so to speak!
The thing with DC is they keep a varied garden. If you don't like Justice League or Batman, you might like Starman or Deadman or Swamp Thing.
Marvel really goes in for the "house style." Which is great when it's like Stan Lee or Jim Shooter in charge. If you don't like the house style, though, you're kind of out in the cold.
RMS used MAEK POAST.
It's super effective!

wtf is Essentials?
Hmm. You've made 111 discussions.
[chat] is probably in the upper thousands by now.
I think your attack is going to do, like, 2 damage.
edit: is there any way to check how many [chat] threads there have been, Jacob?
Babby's First Dungeon
Is it worth $20, 'cuz I was thinking of getting it off Amazon in the next few weeks.
a 4e supplement that re-presented the rules in a more "traditional" format (more text, fewer stat blocks and tables) with simplified, stripped-down classes.
trolls kept trying to claim it was 4.5e but it really, really wasn't. it didn't change anything and is completely compatible (and intended to be played with) everything that came before.
Something we, as a people, better forget?
I believe it is colloquially refered to as 4.5 edition, if that puts it in perspective.
oh.
Also, it's probably been recent a number of times with all of the forum shifts.
now I know how to recognise the term "gland" if it ever comes up
edit: nice, Jacob. All using maths
You should get a burger from Rocket & Relish on the Lisburn Road. Do you have a teleporter or a demi-light speed ship to nip over and back?
I would say no. Not because it isn't a fine and wonderful book, because it is, but because that's horribly overpriced. I picked up my copy for £3. Unless it's a nice hardback edition you're buying, then it might be.
Looking at Amazon.co.uk the price is even higher here, which is annoying. I would recommend instead trawling second hand bookshops, and reading something else in the meantime.

Jacob has put me in my place with his superior description. I am the shame.
So yeah... over 100,000 pages of chat have flown past these eyeballs. That's sobering.
