I was looking for something to read recently and picked up a digital TPB of Neal Adam's recent Deadman work. His artistic skills have not waned much at all over the years, and it's great to see his innovative panel layouts and dramatic character poses. The story was just crazy though, with a wild plot that was hard to keep track of. I wasn't complaining that much because it gave Adams an excuse to draw Batman, Zatanna, The Spectre, The Phantom Stranger and The Demon as well as Boston Brand. He left the tale with seeds for a sequeland I'll definitely check out any follow up that he decides to create.
The first time I ever heard of Neal Adams was in the JLA/JSA team-up that included both Dick Graysons. It's nice to hear he's not letting his artistic skills get rusty. :-)
ReplyDeleteP.S.---this would've made a great sequel to the classic Yeti episode of JQ:TOS.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it'd be a fun story. It'd be interesting to see how Boston interacts with the boys, as well as Bandit's reactions.
ReplyDeleteI'd also like to see Bandit show up on the blog on his own every so often -- not necessarily joining Ace and the Dogs of War or any such thing, but perhaps teaming up with Detective Chimp, Scooby Doo, or Lassie.
BTW, Jonny Quest and Deadman are now under the same owning conglomerate.
ReplyDeleteCue theme song!!!
ReplyDeleteAdams left his Brand on Boston just like he did Batman. As to the boys' reaction - it should be nothing to Hadji since he's been learning about spirits as part of his upbringing.
ReplyDeleteFor all the artwork and stories, don't forget the credits for the music...definitely another important piece to the show's success.
Has Deadman tried inhabiting an animal (i.e. a dog)?
ReplyDeleteWasn't he hosted by a French bulldog owned by the Strauss family during their (mercifully brief) tenure as a futanari Dr. Fate?
