So Adams took the opportunity with Deathstroke #15 to pay homage to other people who have made DC great for decades, particularly in the Silver and Bronze Ages. Some of those faces were real (or at least known to him) while others were random. Strange Adventures #207 puts into sharp relief Adams’ uncanny ability to capture the way people actually are. They are giants in the industry.īut what Adams did on his cover - the utter range of looks and likenesses - is extraordinary.
I am an enormous fan of legends Carmine Infantino (Batman, inked here by Mike Esposito) and Gil Kane (The Atom, inked here by Murphy Anderson).
To put it into perspective take a look at two other covers DC put out in October 1967: The original cover is perhaps Adams’ best known - and certainly one of his most highly regarded - Deadman covers. In this segment, it’s Deathstroke #15 - out 2/24 - which is based on 1967’s Strange Adventures #207. Our previous installment featured Grayson #17, which was based on Batman #237.
