Josh Adams finished the art for a three page tribute to his father and posted it on FB. It is a very touching tribute to Neal. Here is what Josh posted:

It meant the world to draw this. Thanks to Tom King, Marie Javins, Brittany Holzherr, Hi-Fi, Clayton Cowles, my family, and everyone at DC Comics for making this happen. A tribute to dad.

That’s quite a stack Batman has for him to sign!



Very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Very neat tribute, and very well drawn by Josh.  Well done DC.

Very nice piece. I saw the last image earlier today on
Twitter on my iPhone. Looking at all the characters waiting
in line, I jokingly posted "I don't see Muhammad Ali".
Later, someone responded to my comment pointing out that
Superman had boxing gloves slung over his shoulder!
Beautiful touch!

That's an amazing tribute.

Larry Hama really summed up how good a guy Neal Adams was in his quote.

I like the way Hal, Ollie and Dinah are standing together.

I missed the boxing glove until it was mentioned.

I echo Bruce, this was a nice start to the morning.

Found myself just now--for no real reason--reviewing on YouTube the interviews I gave a short time back to the SyFy channel, and growing misty eyed at mentions of (and an appearance by) Neal.

Damn.

Loved those SyFy channel interviews, JB... and it was great to hear Neal Adams comment on your career.

I imagine how great a Batman story by you and drawn by Adams would've been.

-C!

"Thank you for your service" feels like an appropriate message -- to you and Neal Adams.
