Just in time for this year’s Adams BIRTHDAY SALUTE…
Hey, it’s the late, great Neal Adams’ birthday — he was born 85 years ago, on June 15, 1941 — and we’re having a three-for celebration! We’ve got the EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK at the cover of the upcoming Batman by Neal Adams: Absolute Edition Vol. 1 (click here), the EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK at the book’s complete table of contents (below!), and a really groovy faux Batman ’66 cover (!) crafted by none other than our own Walt Grogan (click here).
The broad strokes of the book’s contents — which cover 1967 to 1970 — were listed in the solicitation that was released in November 2025. But here, for the first time, are the full details, along with an opening design page and a credits spread.
Dig this:
This is the book I’m most looking forward to this year. Whenever you get to see Adams’ art in oversize dimensions — especially Batman — it’s a treat. But what really sells this edition is that it features the original coloring and Adams’ illustrations as they were first published, inked by various embellishers. (Years later, Adams insisted that reprints be recolored and feature tweaked art.)
The 8 1/8″ x 12 1/4″ Batman by Neal Adams: The Absolute Edition Vol. 1 (of 2) is due Sept. 22, 2026, and lists for $100.
