His work first on Deadman and the Spectre, soon on Batman, the X-Men, the Avengers, and the Inhumans at DC and Marvel expanded the range of what could be expected in comic art, as he combined the flourish of such action kings as Jack Kirby with the more realistic approach of such masters as Reed Crandall and others. Neal was one of the handful of great comic book artists to come out of the 1960s… or, it could well be argued, out of any decade. He was, after all, less than a year younger than I myself am… and I had belatedly learned of his near-death from sepsis last year. The news, alas, did not come as much of a surprise as it might have at one time. I was profoundly saddened today to learn that my longtime colleague Neal Adams had passed away. In recent years, Adams and Thomas quarreled over their recollection and exact contribution to their now classic stories, but as Thomas says in a post pinned on Facebook, Adams to him will always be warmly remembered as a friend and a master artist. In the early 1970s, Thomas, Adams and Palmer worked together for parts of an extended storyline in The Avengers known as “The Kree-Skrull War.” The team, which included inker Tom Palmer, even won the best writer, best pencil artist and best inking artist Alley Awards in 1969, the recognition being a precursor to today’s Eisner Awards.

But it left an impact and is considered an artistic achievement. 65, and was too late to save the book from being effectively canceled. Their collaboration lasted only nine issue, nos. It was when he took over writing chores on the low-selling X-Men comic that he first worked with Neal Adams. 'Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' End-Credits Scenes Tease Future MCU Villains
