R.I.P. Dan Adkins

Just learned that Dan Adkins passed away last week. Dan was a superb artist, getting his Groovy Age start under Wally Wood during his T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents days, then penciling, inking, and occasionally painting for Marvel, DC, and Warren. Below are just a few examples of Mr. Adkins prowess as a cover artist...

...and some original art scans (thanks, Google!) that show off Dan's masterful inking skills over some of the Groovy Age greats...

Paul Gulacy pencils

As you can see, Dan Adkins was a singular talent. He was also a great talent scout, helping bring mega-talents like P. Craig Russell, Val Mayerik, and Paul Gulacy into our four-color world. Thanks for everything, Dan.
