Neal Adams studied Industrial Arts in New York, and went to work as an advertising artist at the age of 19. He started his comics career at the Newspaper Enterprise Association. For many years, he worked as an anonymous dailies artist, breathing life into series such as 'Ben Casey', 'Peter Scratch', 'Rip Kirby', and 'The Heart of Juliet Jones'. In the late sixties, Adams began to work at DC and Marvel comics. Ever since that time, he has made his mark with dynamic and unconventional superhero stories.
For DC, he has illustrated 'The Spectre', 'Batman', 'Superman', and 'Deadman', a character he gave a more human dimension. Among his most notable DC work is 'Green Lantern'/'Green Arrow'. At Marvel, he cooperated on 'X-Men', 'The Inhumans', 'The Avengers' and 'El Diablo'. Adams was also present in the magazines National Lampoon and Creepy, as well as the fanzine Venture.
In the late seventies, Adams moved beyond the drawing board and began managing his art studios and publishing label with Dick Giordano, Continuity Associates. Continuity published titles like 'Crazyman', 'Urth 4', 'Zero Patrol', 'Valeria', 'Cyberrad', 'Samurree' and 'Revengers', and also made its name in the field of animation. In addition, he took over 'Ms Mystic' at Pacific Comics in 1982, and produced the mini-series 'Deathwatch 2000' for that same publisher eleven years later.
