Neal Adams

Challengers of the Unknown v1 #74, 1970 - As a little girl's life is endangered by a malevolent spirit, the Challengers come to her aid. Deadman lends a hand, though the team is unaware of his presence. Neal Adams' cover is eerily disturbing, consistent with the title's temporary shift from science fiction to horror. Although the bulk of the story is drawn by George Tuska, Adams contributes pages toward the beginning and end, centered around Deadman's appearances (see interior page shown below). This story was later reprinted in World's Finest Comics #230. This issue also includes an unrelated, one-page tale, capably drawn by Bernie Wrightson. This is 1 of 2 Challengers of the Unknown issues by Wrightson and 5 of 6 Challengers of the Unknown issues by Adams.
