Beyond his art, Neal Adams is rightfully remembered as an eternal champion of creators’ rights and for the part he & his work played in the Comics Code revision of ‘71 but his contribution to John Stewart’s creation is – I think –  a rather underrated aspect of his career, especially as it’s such a great reminder of the kind of person he was. Taken from an interview conducted and transcribed by Allen W. Wright over at the Green Arrow: Bold Archer fansite, here’s Neal discussing John’s beginnings (x).

I only met him once or twice, but all the above is true to Neal’s voice as I remember it (from those Friday-night get-togethers that DC people had sometimes in a nearby bar, back in the days when their offices were still at 666 5th Avenue).

…He’s so much missed.

I didn’t know any of that. And I thought I knew my DC lore.
