But let's also give Denny O'Neill his due as writer. He and Adams were as in sync on the Batman as they were on Green Lantern/Green Arrow creating masterpiece after masterpiece. keythd23https://www.blogger.com/profile/00690368680707726203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-70147979871062297812020-02-06T05:46:30.471-05:002020-02-06T05:46:30.471-05:00Dan Decarlo named the Josie character after his wi...Dan Decarlo named the Josie character after his wife back in 1963! I had no idea the concept predated the animated cartoon. Also interesting is that a young Cheryl Ladd provided the singing voice for Melody in the 1970-71 animated cartoon. <br /><br />- NeilAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-45529268481957001642020-02-02T18:55:19.239-05:002020-02-02T18:55:19.239-05:00That sounds right.

I also own Detective Comics #395 with their first Batman collaboration, "The Secret of the Waiting Graves." <br /><br />I still think that Batman #244 was their finest hour & one of the highlights of 1970s comics (along with Wrightson's run on Swamp Thing).<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Chris A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-91560467805887061562020-02-02T13:35:50.992-05:002020-02-02T13:35:50.992-05:00Good catch!

Howeve...Good catch! I didn't recall that one.<br /><br />However, 99% of the time someone else was inking Neal Adams' pencils (except for covers), so it was interesting to see him ink someone else. I believe there's an early Rich Buckler job in House of Mystery that Neal inked. Otherwise, he would ink a figure here & there in the '70s when his Continuity Associates team inked under the guise of the Crusty Bunkers---usually in a last minute deadline rescue effort.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Chris A.
