About the Art Adams thing. Anybody who was reading comics at that time knows that Art Adams wasn't an artist that was considered in league with Byrne, Perez, or McFarlane as the best artists of that day. He may have been up with Walt Simonson or BWS, who were just a notch below, but even that is debatable. Sorry Tom, but count me among the longtime readers who doesn't remember Art Adams being revered and copied like many of his contemporaries in the 80's were, and still are.

I think you feel the way you feel, but you misremember completely the fervor that existed for Art’s work when he hit the scene.

Its amazing to me that this is still going on.

Art Adams is the best. If you read my blog you might also know that Jim Lee is the best, too. As is Travis Charest. But all in different contexts.
