Thrilling Adventure Stories #2 - Neal Adams cover, Alex Toth, Walt Simonson art

Neal Adams

Thrilling Adventure Stories v1 #2, 1975 - Along with a handful of short-lived comics, Atlas Seaboard also produced this magazine-sized comic during the 1970s. The Neal Adams cover captures your attention immediately with its strange prehistoric-looking monster. The barbaric couple remains defiant, and the man looks a little too suspiciously like Marvel's Ka-Zar. Alex Toth chronicles a lone cop's war against the drug trade. Fast paced and frenetic, his limited use of frames add an illustrative, montage-like quality. Toth's visual storytelling is some of his most experimental and innovative. Walt Simonson teams up with writer Archie Goodwin on a story set in feudal Japan. The artist's layouts are superbly designed, with drawings rich in graphic texture (see interior page below). Other artists in this comic include Jack Sparling and John Severin. This is 1 of 1 Thrilling Adventure Stories issues by Adams, 1 of 1 Thrilling Adventure Stories issues by Toth and 1 of 1 Thrilling Adventure Stories issues by Simonson.
