THAT is a pretty hot conversion!

(Tho, it would have become a Neal Adams Batmobile if he had just painted the Corvette blue...)


(hmm, can't find a vintage Adams Batmobile, but here is how he drew it in his latest mini-series, based in part on his redesign of the early 70s)

Looks more like the '89 movie Batmobile. Neil's was more of a stock car with a Batman face on the hood:

Considering the vehicle in Andrews post, I was wondering: Does Nick Fury know Batman is driving his car?

On a similar topic,on the Gerry Anderson appreciation Facebook page,there is a link to a blog about a chap who has tracked down Straker`s car from the tv series UFO in the hope of buying and restoring it,things haven`t gone exactly to plan,but he is making progress of a sort.

Maybe. Hard to tell with all the mud smeared on the art.

What? That's the COLORING???

Not that it should necessarily change your opinion, but wasn't Adams smearing his own mud?

I saw Neal Adams again at the New Orleans show this past
November, and we talked about the color in his books. Seems he was
taking it on the chin from a fan when I walked up. His response had
more to do with improvements in technology not artistic merit. He did
ask me my opinion, respectfully I told him that I thought certain
veteran artists look better with flatter colors, because of how they
draw. We agreed to disagree.

It hard to discuss these things with a comic creator, especially
someone like Neal Adams. It made me keenly aware of something.
Making a comicbook is not a community effort with the audience. We
don't and shouldn't have a say. This is a monologue. We are being
told a story. I don't understand people who just openly give advice to
artists and writers at cons. Not many comedians solicit joke ideas
after there show.

But, it doesn't mean you have to like the jokes being told.

Oh, you have a say! And it's right there in your wallet!

I wish more people would exercise that option, instead of buying comics and bitching about them!
