    I wish you had asked me a couple of weeks back as I had that story out as I dragged that box of magazines from my storage shed and could have told you. That wasn’t the only story he did as that issue of Eerie was an all Neal Adams reprint, but I don’t recall its original appearance. I’ll make a mental note to look at the story’s name when I go out to my storage shed again.

    Neal Adams is an asshole. I was excited to meet Neal at the San Diego Comic Con, but when I did he was very rude to me and my son. He wanted me to buy one of his hard back books for $50.00, and when I said I cound not afford it he then started with insults and asked me what have I ever done. I just turned and walked away.

    That sucks. This is the first time I have heard such a story so perhaps he was just having a bad day?

    I wouldn’t doubt it. I’ve talked to him as well. Yes, Neil does nice work, but he enjoys hearing himself talk too much. Great work Neil but get over yourself.

    yeah Lee is very good, but his art is still, like poster art similar to Steranko, Neal is more story telling art, in short Neal is the total package
