Neal Adams Monsters by Neal Adams
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Basically, this is an updated version of work that Adams and his Continuity Studios did back in the 1970s. My suggestion: Stick with the oriignal.
Adams strength was his rendering. The updated version includes too much digital falderal that impedes the dynamic illustrating. Though, this is not Adams & Co. best work. As Adams was fully able to redraw weak parts of the story, it’s too bad he didn’t.
The plot is shaky. The written execution is not very good. I noticed this when I read it some 40 years ago. Again, the updated version could’ve cleaned up the dialogue.
Overall, this new version is fine for the Adams completest, but for the casual reader, stick with the original.
Bottom line: I don’t recommend this book. 4 out of ten points.
