- The Phantom Stranger Vol. 2 #13 and #14. Neal Adams drew several covers for The Phantom Stranger Vol. 2, but issues #13 and #14 are standouts. Issue #13 depicts a creepy image of a boy shooting a scientist with finger guns, something reminiscent of The Twilight Zone.
- Green Lantern Vol. 2 #76 and #87. Green Lantern Vol. 2 #76 started what would be perhaps the most famous run of Adams’ career. Commonly referred to as “Hard-Travelling Heroes”, this issue was Adams’ start on Green Lantern/Green Arrow with writer Dennis O’Neil, who passed away in 2020.
- Green Lantern Vol 2. # 85 One of the most historic comic book covers ever to reach print, Green Lantern Vol. 2 #85 depicts Green Arrow’s sidekick, Speedy, in the throes of drug addiction after having used a needle to shoot up heroin.
- Superman Vol. 1 #233. Another one of Adams’ most famous works, is the cover of Superman Vol 1. # 233, which depicts Superman breaking out of chains that shatter off of the page.
- Limited Collectors’ Edition C-51. Adams takes Batman #232 and, remarkably, makes it even better. Sure, he had the advantage of the larger, treasury size and the landscape wraparound, but he takes full advantage of both: Batman’s never looked more anguished, with every muscle taut, about to explode.
- Batman #251. The idea of taking an important character and blowing them up to gigantic size has been a cover trick since the earliest days of comics but this is one of the boldest ever executed.
- Batman #232. OK, now we’re getting down to it. This is a visionary cover, taking the layered concept of Batman #227 and intensifying it with a lurid neon green that begs you to look.
- Batman #237. Ask me again tomorrow and I might flip this with Batman #244. Equally terrifying and alluring with that bright, blood red background that just screams feverish chaos.
