Neal Adams kind of blew my mind when I started reading his Batman stuff from the 70s. Gone was the camp of the 60s Batman show, replaced by a moody, noirish style full of detail and negative space. Basically this was where Batman entered the modern age, and every iteration of him since has been heavily informed by Neal Adams' style.


I especially like the first picture in your post. It has a very Will Eisner kind of quality to it, and I just love the way he did urban settings in his Spirit comics.

It looks pretty old to me. 60's?

Spoiler for May be NSFW:
I like Frazetta too. I'm also a fan of Frank Thorne's work, but most of it is entirely too NSFW for this place.
