Batman No. 255 Cover by Neal Adams
At the end of his industry-changing run at DC Comics, Neal Adams turned in this solid cover. However, with Batman then running 100-page issues, the art didn’t get the packaging it deserved. Shrunk to fit a smaller box in the cover template, we’ve always wondered how it would have looked as a normal cover.
So let’s do something about that.

Batman No. 210 Cover: Novick or Adams?
As can happen, one artist draws a cover, and the editor chooses to have it redrawn by another artist. Case in point the cover for DC's Batman 210 in March 1969. The layout had been done by Carmine Infantino and passed on to Irv Novick. His was rejected and Neal Adams redrew it. What do you have to say about that?
Sublime.
This was one of the first comics I bought on my own (paper route), so it comes
with good memories. And, like the “giant-sized” B&B, Aparo-illustrated issues,
I’ve harped about, definitely needed the Dutton treatment.
