Neal Adams — R.I.P.

I’m still processing the loss of the legendary Neal Adams, who truly was a one-of-kind artist and person. Dozens of stories and anecdotes come to mind, and at some point in the near future, I will post one or two of my favorites.

Which leads me to one of the most quoted lines of dialogue in film history, from the classic John Ford western, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance:

 “When the legend becomes fact, print the legend” 

In Neal’s case, the legend and the fact are pretty much the same thing. Any story you’ve heard — you can safely believe it.

Or, to quote from another film: (Harrison Ford/Han Solo in The Force Awakens)

“Its true… All of it.”

Thanks for everything Neal. Godspeed.
