IL – Neal Adams Signing
April 6, 2012 by Colin Solan
Filed under Comic Books, Illinois, Signing and Appearance Profiles, Top Stories

Press Release:
Legendary comic book creator Neal Adams signs at Graham Crackers Comics on Thursday, April 12th from 3:45pm – 5:15pm!
A champion of creators rights, an artist who’s style and vision helped redefine Super Heroes almost single handedly in the Silver-Age. His iconic works and covers moved Batman beyond the slapstick character that traveled to other planets and back to his pulp roots.
Neal will be bringing various graphic novels (Superman vs Muhammad Ali, Art of Neal Adams, DCs Batman Adams Archives, etc.) as well as various self published sketch books featuring page after page of never before seen Adams work that you can pick up and get personalized at the shop for free. Neal does not charge for his signature if you’re picking up an item at the shop, but if you do need to bring something in there will be a $5 charge to have outside items signed.
This is a rare opportunity for us to have one of our industries biggest names appearing in the store and we wanted to give you a heads up as quickly as possible, if there’s any way you can make it in to the shop this Thursday – it’s a meeting you won’t most likely ever forget, and we doubt we’ll ever get this lucky again.
