Teen Titans #20 - Neal Adams art


Teen Titans #20, 1969 - The mysterious new hero Joshua enlists the Titans in saving a group of troubled teenagers. Neal Adams overall does a competent job with the page layouts and pacing. His pencils, however, are watered down by the loose inks of Nick Cardy, this issue's cover artist and a terrific illustrator in his on right. Certain panels sorely lack definition, including the sparsely drawn splash on page 11. While certainly not among his best works of the late silver age, Adams' recognizable style is still evident. Interestingly, later comic magazine articles reveal that Joshua was originally scripted to be an African American, but modified at the last minute. This is number 1 of 3 Teen Titans issues with Adams art and/or covers. See today's posts or more Adams or Teen Titans issues. See also this blog's Adams checklist or Top 10 Adams comics
