demifiendrsa: Legendary comic book artist Neal Adams has passed away at age 80 due to complications from sepsis. Some of his notable works include Batman, Green Lantern/Green Arrow, Strange Adventures featuring the character Deadman, The Brave and the Bold, The Avengers, and X-Men.

He helped lead to the modern industry’s standard practice of returning original artwork to the artist, who can earn additional income from art sales to collectors. In 1978, he co-founded the Comic Creators Guild. In 1987, he won a legal battle with Marvel that returned artwork to him and legendary artist Jack Kirby, and he helped lobby for Superman creators Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel to receive overdue compensation from DC Comics. -- source link
