Aquaman #50 - Neal Adams art


Aquaman #50, 1970 - Fresh from his cancellation in Strange Adventures, Deadman begins as a back-up feature. Neal Adams, whose artwork helped popularize the character, carries over a visual continuity from the series. Deadman encounters the Oceanmaster, Aquaman's deadliest foe, witnessing his participation in a sinister alien plot. Confined to a smaller page count, Adams makes the most of it with roomy, precisely drawn panels. His own inks make his pencils all the more aesthetically pleasing. Other artists in this issue include Jim Aparo and Nick Cardy (cover). This is number 1 of 3 Aquaman issues with Adams art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Adams or Aquaman issues.
