Above is the very first cover that Neal Adams created for DC's Superman Family of titles, and it's a doozy. The energy and drama of an Adams cover is all too evident. Below I've attempted to assemble all the "Superman Family" covers Adams produced for Action Comics, Superman, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen. I know he created some outstanding covers for Superboy during this period, but I hand to draw the line somewhere, and you can find those covers here at posts I created about the Legion last Spring. I did however include those issues of World's Finest in which Superman was hosting various other stars from the DC firmament other than Batman. I've attempted to arrange the gallery in chronological order, and I've attempted to indicate where Adams was just inking a cover as he does in a few of these. If I've forgotten one let me know. Beginning in 1967 and sprawling across the next few years the late and great Neal Adams dominated the covers at DC. Enjoy!
Adams returned in the late Bronze Age to kick out a few more outstanding covers for the Superman books. These are some of my all-time favorites.
I'll wrap up this overlong post with Neal's contribution to the Action Comics #1000 celebration. Why? Because I want to. See you tomorrow with something completely different and smaller.
