Rest in Peace maestro. magnificent legacy.

Neal was and still is in a dimension that only he inhabited as an artist and visionary....no one came or comes close to him. whereas most artist have an established vocabulary of poses and ways to do things Neal Adams was beyond all that. He always came up with new ways to express himself. For example Byrne, Buscema and Kirby had their standardized poses.....Neal never did. Always came up with new, fluid ways to draw a scene. A true Master whose legacy will inspire and live on forever. RIP Neal. You achieved far more than most can even imagine.

Legend for life

He deserved to live longer, but man what a life well lived.

he's got a healthy ego, but if anyone's allowed to have one, it's neal. what a master.

I think it's unbecoming. When you have all his achievements you don't really need to tell everyone.

@@floepiejane Jack Kirby was the humblest guy in the Universe. John Romita Sr and Joe Kubert, fantastic, talented and modest. But no one's allowed to comment on Neal Adam's inflated sense of self? I don't think there's any sanctimony in that, or in saying that modesty is a state of mind not something that you fake. Surprising that you can't understand those relatively simple ideas.

Great interview with a comic legend - good job in getting Neal's ego in the room !

Fantastic interview with a legend!

Rewatched this amazing interview again today - thank you again for posting this incredible interview with the legend - so sad he is gone now but his work will live forever! 😁🙏❤️

Thanks Jesse! It was definitely a moment of history and connection.

Absolute legend. Continuity Comics informed Image, McFarland Toys and so many great indie successes. RIP Neil. 💔

Neil Adams was at a comic book convention in San Francisco in 1975. Unfortunately I missed him somehow. I always regretted that. This interview kind of helps make up for it - thank you

I was more ofa devotee of his BATMAN and Sword and sorcery work, which was always wonderful! REST WELL, NEAL and THANK YOU!

Love Neal. Thank you for this.

lol Neal throwing shade @6:59

Great interview. Neal is always a trip.

Neal Adams, of blessed memory, requiescat in pace . . . .

Laughed many times during this interview. Wished I’d of come across this b4 his death. He is so refreshing. I met him about 10 years ago in Red Bank, New Jersey. Very nice guy… enjoyed my time with him very much. Thanks for work Neal. Thanks to CBH for posting.

Thank you

Fantastic interview, Bill! Great meeting you through TheGreyMan and Kyle! Take care and Happy New Year!

Thank you for this excellent video. What a great man! What a great career! The greatest artist!

I became aware of Neal Adams with the reprints of his work on the X-Men

R.I.P. Neal Adams. He will definitely be missed. All in all, this was a highly entertaining interview.

I love Neal's work ... he's always been my clear favorite. But RIP ... the dude is clearly the opposite of humble. It's off-putting to always be praising himself so much ... and not needed! Everyone LOVES this guy's work, and we praise him often. I just never understood his attitude on this. Oh well. There will never be another one like him. The best.

Jack Kirby was always humble. It befits a true legend better than someone blowing their own trumpet and trying to diminish people like Carmine Infantino. In another video he mocks how another inker, a Japanese, said "bwush". Not just once, he keeps repeating it. I think there was a side of Neal Adams that was not likeable.

Adams had the right attitude towards conflict. More litigators should think that way.

Holy Cr#p Bat-Man, Neal looked just like 1970s teen idol Bobby Sherman at the 28:55 mark in this video! GREAT VIDEO BTW!

I really wanted a full view of that poster behind Neal.😢

I love this channel!

Wrightson was a good inker for him . . . .

To clarify the Cavill moustache, it was the Mission Impossible producers/studio that kiboshed the razor.

It was Joss Whedon’s decision to film that scene

This is interesting. John Broome's GL was probably closer to Denny O'Neil's GA. I wonder how much O'Neil's GL was based on having GA and GL being different and how much it was based on O'Neil not getting the character (despite writing it).

He sure loves his work, just like the rest of us… 🧐

One of the all time greats. Rest well king. What kind of mics did you use for this interview?

Great guy.. Rest in Peace.. but idk.. I've seen those old Batman comics from the 40's and 50's when I was a lil kid...but I don't remember ever shaking in my Jordans... so I'm never fully clear what these guys are talking bout.

The adult themed ones are pre-1942. Look at Batman #1 1940 and read the first appearance of Joker. Amazing

Miss his unapologetic honesty 😂

GL/GA and New Gods tended to "fall off the trucks."

Neal Adams has done well for himself and for other cartoonists. A fine bit of comics history. His thoughts of himself as a fighter, as a boxer was pretty funny.. Neal even at his best couldn't be a boxer. Stick to drawing Neal.

Dude in the back creeps me out

Why that guy soo angry next to him lol

good interview but Neal is to sure of himself, the others are bad, I‘m the best. not very sympathetic....

He was a great artist but I find his lack of modesty quite unappealing. And I wish he'd have occasionally washed that blue shirt.
