ARTHUR ADAMS


Joyce Chin

Misc. Art

The comic industry has survived many ups and downs. Of recent memory, the boom of the '80's and the bust of the '90's. In that time and more, there have been many comic artists. However, only the truly great artists have had any lasting appeal. We all know who. The comic artist of the modern era seems somewhat overshadowed by those of the past. One artist, though, has proven a consistent fan favorite in every endeavor: ART ADAMS.
Arthur has been involved in the comic industry since the early '80's. Though the beginning was modest, he came to public notice and critical acclaim via the ground-breaking "Longshot" mini-series. Arthur combines a dynamic, lively and good-natured style with well planned layouts and incredible attention to detail. Top artist Mike Bair of JSA fame recently said that Arthur is "the best inker in the industry". High-praise indeed from a guy whose inking is virtually three-dimensional. Arthur's style is so well-admired and influential that a whole cadre of "new" artists have emulated him.
In today's market-place obtaining a potential customer's attention is imperative. Ultimately, a company survives if their product has appeal and is purchased. Covers are often the most visible selling point for any comic. So, why not have an artist who has time proven fan appreciation do your cover? Arthur's talents are in high demand by virtually every comic company executive. Arthur doesn't produce a lot of art. But for this level of quality, why should anyone expect more?

 

NOTE:  Some of the pieces below don't have images due to bandwidth availability.  I don't mind sending images but if you aren't serious about buying please don't ask.  Please respect my time - art sales is an evening project not my avocation.

X-Men Poster Art   Vintage 1987 Marvel Press This poster was penciled and inked by Arthur Adams. The artwork is in very good condition considering its age (1987) drawn on heavy board measuring a huge 27"x39"! To give you an idea of what that means, Colossus is about 18" tall. Arthur has signed and dated the piece on the bottom right. Because of its age and size there is a bit of damage. A fair amount of the ends of the board are bent and/or frayed. There is a slight brown age stain above Rogue as well as there being a tan age band below Rouge running horizontally through the center. Despite all that, though, the artwork itself is in excellent condition. Errata and Title are paste on as is the image of Angel. It would appear that Marvel requested the addition of Angel after the piece was drawn. However, the pen and ink original from which the stat was made is included. No other scans are available other than what you see here. Artwork will be shipped encased in a large mylar.  $50,000
