Coming this summer…
When you think about it, it’s surprising there hasn’t been an Annual until now, but TwoMorrows in July will release Back Issue Annual #1, a 100-page extravaganza boasting the best features on Neal Adams from the mag’s storied history.
Dig the official description:
BACK ISSUE ANNUAL #1
For its first ever Annual, Back Issue magazine is pulling out all the stops with a special tribute to Silver/Bronze Age superstar Neal Adams! Presented are the best features on Neal from several long sold-out issues, including: a guided tour of Adams’ Continuity Studios! Neal and Denny O’Neil discussing their seminal work on Green Lantern/Green Arrow! Adams on the evolution of Ms. Mystic! Plus Superman-centric and Batman-centric interviews with Neal, revealing behind-the-scenes secrets of his approach to those signature characters! There’s Adams art galore throughout, including rare and unseen work, all behind an unused 1960s Adams cover. Featuring issues edited by Michael Eury. Don’t miss it!

The issue lists for $12.95 and is due out July 15, 2026, though that’s subject to change. Back Issue Annual #1 will be available at comics shops but you can also preorder it through TwoMorrows itself.

Great use of that unused Lois Lane #87 cover. Better IMO than the one that was eventually published.

This annual will feature my interview with Neal about every Batman story he illustrated in BRAVE AND THE BOLD, DETECTIVE COMICS, and BATMAN. I conducted it with Neal for two days at Continuity Studios. It originally appeared in the TwoMorrows book THE BATCAVE COMPANION that Michael Eury and I wrote.
