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...

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.

Few inkers worked as well over Gulacy as adkins--including Gulacy.
ReplyDeleteSadly, another great from when comics were good is now gone. At least his artwork survives.
ReplyDeleteReally huge fan of THUNDER Agents.

There was nothing wishy-washy about his style of inking. Of the ones who inked over Smith on the early Conan stories, I thought he was the most effective. Same with Gulacy. His use of blacks was outstanding, and gave his figures a real solidity. And that Dr Strange cover is a beauty.
