DC Special #4 - Neal Adams cover, Jack Kirby reprint

Neal Adams

DC Special v1 #4 presents 13 Shock Ending Stories, 1969 - Consistent with other his horror covers, Neal Adams places kids in precarious situations as a dramatic theme. I like how the ominous shadow neatly frames the interior scene. Inside the issue, new pages are inserted between stories featuring horror hosts from various DC titles. Abel makes his first cameo appearance in roughly five panels, a full month before House of Secrets #81. A fine Jack Kirby tale (reprinted from Tales of the Unexpected #16) outshines the rest. Other artists in this silver age comic include Jerry Grandenetti, Bill Draut, Carmine Infantino, Joe Giella, Gene Colan, George Papp and Leonard Starr. This is 2 of 5 DC Special issues by Adams.
