Neal Adams: The Icon Who Beat DC & Marvel

Neal Adams wasn’t just a legendary comic book artist—he was a force of nature who reshaped the industry from the inside out.

Yes, Adams helped save Batman from campy irrelevance alongside writer Denny O'Neil. But his true legacy runs deeper: fighting for creator rights when no one else dared. He helped secure Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster the recognition—and pension—they were long denied. He stood up to Marvel to ensure Jack Kirby and other artists had their original work returned. Adams didn't just fight for himself. He fought for everyone.

In this video, Wes breaks down the legacy of Neal Adams—how his art transformed comics and how his activism redefined what it means to be a creator. This is the story of a man who used his influence not for ego, but for justice.
