Amazing Adventures v3 #18 - Neal Adams art


Amazing Adventures v3 #18 featuring War of the Worlds / Killraven, 1973 - Based on the H.G. Wells novel of the same name, Marvel pushes the concept further with the return of martians in the present day. Killraven, a post-apocalyptic hero, makes his first appearance. Neal Adams returns to the title, illustrating the first adventure. His opening splash of a ferocious battle underground is gripping, contrasting against a more poignant scene of a dying scientist's last recollections. Unfortunately, Adams' contribution ends on page 11. Howard Chaykin takes over with a primitive, more amateurish style. This is number 5 of 5 Amazing Adventures v3 issues with Adams art and/or covers.
