Longtime fans of comic book penciller Arthur Adams started drawing comics when he was in his teens-rumor has it while he was still in high school.
His first full comic book assignment was the Longshot mini-series for Marvel Comics.
From there he penciled a plethora of one-shots, mini-series, sort runs on monthly series, annuals and short stories in anthology series.
He is well known for his incredibly detailed illustrations and unique style.
If Adam draws it you know it will be good!
I had the privilege of meeting Adam a number of years ago and he is friendly, funny and absolutely loves Godzilla.
He also has a fondness for old monster movies, science fiction and fantasy.
A couple of decades ago Arthur produced a few one-shots for Dark Horse Comics.
One, appropriately enough, was The Godzilla Color Special.
Arthur’s love for Godzilla and all things Giant Japanese monsters shows through.
And talk about detail! You can see every scale on Godzilla’s body as well as his antagonist‘s. Be sure to check out the wraparound cover illustration.
Equally impressive is Arthur’s Creature Of The Black Lagoon movie adaptation.
It is a faithful adaptation of the film to comic book format and like Godzilla the book is jam-packed with incredibly detailed illustrations, totally unique character depictions and amazing location and object drawings.
For any Arthur Adams fan these are two examples of his greatest works really showcase his amazing talent.
