I really wanted something else for this one. As it turns out, Deadman (Boston Brand, one of the coolest names ever) is still looking for the Hook, the assassin who killed him. However, I wasn't wowed by the latest series. Over the years, Adams has branched out from drawing (some of the most dynamic comics I can remember, by the way). Neal Adams is the author and illustrator for this six-issue run. I didn't even know this new series was a thing till I found it by accident. including the run he had in the FOREVER PEOPLE strip.
I LOVED Deadman back in the day, and in the incarnations that came about later.
The way Adams broke the comic frames and the angles he used to set up the action were like nothing we'd ever seen before.

If Strange Adventures #207 was marked by the haunting image of dozens of disembodied heads ( click here), Adams’ follow-up is startling because of the large-scale, visible horror sketched onto our hero’s face. In tandem with that, we’re running NEAL ADAMS’ DEADMAN TALES, a recurring series featuring the artist’s views on his work with DC’s ghostly avenger - some extensive, some brief - yesterday and today.įor the complete NEAL ADAMS’ DEADMAN TALES Index of stories, click here.
