I posted this elsewhere; but, thought it deserved its own thread. i stumbled across this photo, at random...  The caption says Neal Adams, I say it's Elvis; you decide! |

I believe it's a man named Elvis Adams.

They are related and Neal Adams is a distant cousin of Elvis Presley ...  |

He looks strangely like Jason Sudeikis in that photo.

I've been collecting Adams art and articles since 1974 and that is definitely Neal Adams. I haven't seen that specific photo before but I have seen photos of him from this same event and he is wearing the same shirt and coat.

Yes he did host the Love Connection. That's why he never had time to draw Skateman #2.

Or is he Chad Everett? In 1982 I submitted my script; The Neal Adams Story, to Warners. I wanted Paul Sorvino to play the lead. They loved my script but insisted that Stallone play Adams. I told them to take a hike. |

Great pics and comments! During Neal Adam's X-Men run, I'd imagined he had a lean, intense, chiseled, craggy face--in other words, that he looked similar to his depictions of Scott Summers or Larry Trask or Karl Lykos--and "Neal" is an anagram of "lean" so maybe that was a part of my kiddie reasoning back then  . Anyway, I recall being surprised when I saw his teddy bear smiling face, chubby cheeks and all, in FF Annual #7:  And now that I look at this again, he strikes me as a Commander Riker prototype  (Star Trek TNG was many years after this photo) |

I don't recall having formed an image of what I thought NA looked like when I first discovered his work in the Avengers Kree/Skrull War issues.
In some interview he described himself as looking like a NYC fireman.
The best NA interview(imo) is the one conducted by Arlen Schumer in Comic Book Marketplace #56.
If you are interested in his early years at Johnstone and Cushing Advertising Agency, I highly recommend Comic Book Profiles #3.

Chuck Woolery (Neal Adams?) also appeared as Superman on the 1973 ABC Saturday Morning Funtime Preview with forgotten comedy duo Burns and Schreiber, as well as a certain Caped Crusader, marking the first live-action meeting between the two DC titans.   |
