Adams not only changed comic books, but the comics industry itself, helping secure Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster a pension as well as the much-deserved recognition for their creation, the first super hero, Superman. These were among the industries first steps towards creator rights. He has also drawn some of comics most popular characters. Best known, unquestionably, for Batman, Adams also illustrated numerous other characters during popular runs on Green Lantern/Green Arrow and Superman as well as shorter but no less impressive works on Conan, the Flash, and the X-Men. His covers for DC?s horror titles House of Mystery and House of Secrets are among the best to every grace the covers of either series. Adams has received numerous Alley Awards, including Best Cover, Best Full-Length Story, and Best Pencil Artist.
