World's Finest Comics #258 - Neal Adams cover, Don Newton art

Neal Adams

World's Finest Comics v1 #258, 1979 - A Kryptonian disease transforms Batman into a mutated hybrid, as portrayed on Neal Adams' fine cover. Not only are the lead characters prominent in the layout, but strong diagonal lines heighten the tension. Inside, Don Newton draws a more light-hearted  tale of Captain Nazi's search for a mate. The artwork seems to maintain the usual level of craft on Newton's Shazam stories. Kurt Schaffenberger's inks also add a friendlier tone to the pencils. This story was later reprinted in Shazam! The World's Mightiest Mortal #3. Other artists in this bronze age comic include Jose Garcia Lopez and Jose Delbo. This is 25 of 25 World's Finest Comics issues by Adams and 6 of 28 World's Finest Comics issues by Newton.
