Detective Comics #404 - Neal Adams art & cover

Neal Adams

Detective Comics v1 #404, 1970 - When Bruce Wayne bankrolls a film about Baron Von Hammer (Enemy Ace), murder and sabotage stop its production. The Batman investigates, leading to a aerial dogfight with the famed pilot's ancestor. Neal Adams' style dominates the story, but for a handful of panels featuring the supporting character. In these he mimics and pays homage to Joe Kubert, Enemy Ace's artist and co-creator. While not completely inconsistent, it only mildly distracts from the story. This story was later reprinted in Limited Collectors' Edition #C-25. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Gil Kane. This is 18 of 38 Detective Comics issues by Adams.
