You know you are a superstar comic book person when you get pro representation from a big Hollywood agency.  Or so says The Hollywood Reporter that reports Neal Adams and his Continuity Studios have signed with ICM.

The agency will work to take Adams’ creations across all forms of media as well as help him make the transition to feature film writing and directing. In that latter fashion, Adams would follow artists-turned-helmers such as John Cassaday, who directed an episode of Fox TV series “Dollhouse,” and Frank Miller, who helmed “Sin City” and “The Spirit.”

So what will Adams and Continuity Studios bring to the table in hopes of turning into a movie or television franchise?  There’s Knighthawk, a hero made up of cloned parts. Ditz the Scatterbrain, a teenager who can control people’s minds, Crazyman, who works for the government on dangerous missions, and of course Bucky O’Hare, that lovable green rabbit.  Oh, let’s not forget Ms. Mystic and Toyboy – who is in no way related to the Witchia, KS KWCH character that’s been around since the 1960’s.

Dynamic Forces announced it is taking preorders for The Original Encyclopedia of Comic Book Heroes Volume 1 signed by artist Neal Adams.

Originally published in 1976, this exhaustive volume – the first in a series – includes every piece of information you could want to know about Batman, his allies and enemies, weapons in his war on crime, and his adventures across the decades!

I’ve purchased a few signed Dynamic Forces issues, and have been genuinely pleased with the results (signed Batman/Spirit – WOOT!).

The title will ship in June.

Neal Adams son, Jason Adams, posted at the Collector’s Society Message Board on the thieving that took place at the San Diego Comic Con this year. In addition to one of his own statues walking off, so too did two of his dad’s comics.

I found that the thief came back to steal 2 things from my father worth a couple hundred dollars each. He had a Superman CGC graded comic which he had drawn an original Superman portrait on and a Green Lantern with an original Green Lantern and Green Arrow portrait on. Both were on stands and both were gone while lower priced items were put in their place.
