As if Neal Adams would ever work on *anything* for five years! He did draw four pages of Justice League #93 if you want a tantalizing taste of what could have been. The issue Adams wotked on was #94.

I always say that my dream comic for Neal Adams would have been some kind of "plain-clothes" series, whether horror, detective, spy, or what have you - because I love his street scenes and "civilian" characters but do not like the way he drew superheroes at all.

I liked Neal Adams' Ms. Mystic... but that was like two and a half comics over three years? I don't know why but I don't have any real want to see him do __________ with him. I value the shortish runs he had on Deadman, Green Lantern, X-Men, and Avengers, they were pricey to attempt to collect in the early '80s, only managing a few individual issues before reprints let me read all four. Jaime Hernandez on a Marvel mutant team would probably be pretty cool, even cooler with some of brother Gilbert Hernandez' involvement (loved that BEM story way back with it's Ditko and Kirby tinged characters). Some Jaime heroines...

With JLA work like this over the years-- --he would have been a memorable boost to the JLA interiors. Imagine him doing that for four or five years. Grand! Yeah. Imagine something like the Kree-Skrull War every time you picked up JLA! Ohh, that would have been mind-blowing work! DC should have met any price to get him as the regular artist on JLA! I would suggest his JLA would have placed it so many levels above most team books of the period.

Was GL/GA the longest Adams did continuous issues of a series?

Was GL/GA the longest Adams did continuous issues of a series? Quick guess, yes. He did 12 in a row, then threw in a reprint issue before the finale.

1. I'd love to see John Byrne revisit the Hulk. I thought his 6 issue run was way to short. Also JB or Geroge Perez on a nice Thor/ Silver Surfer cosmic team up book. 2. George Perez on Silver Surfer, a Red Tornado book. 3. Jason Fabok on the FF or Avengers.

P Craig Russell drawing Promethea (he actually did, in the Promethea universe, so I feel like we're bereft)
Jim Mooney on pencils and Bill Messner-Loebs on inks, drawing The Spirit (written by Joss Whedon)
Alex Toth drawing the Ace of Shades (abandoned Alan Moore proposal for 30s detective)
Archie Goodwin writing Nero Wolfe (duh!)

I would have liked a Byrne drawn series about the JSA set in post WWII.

Nick Cardy is so well-known for drawing beautiful heroines, it seems a pity he never did a Wonder Woman series, or perhaps Wonder Woman plus Wonder Girl, the character he drew so nicely in Teenage Titans. By the same token, I think it would have been fun to see him drawing characters like Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson in Spider-Man, or a solo series fir some other female lead character, for example Black Widow or Valkyrie at Marvel. Back to DC ... I don't know their characters as well, so after WW I'm not sure. I don't think his style would have suited Barda, though you never know until you actually see it. I second this. I would like to have more Nick Cardy superhero stuff, as romance comics make for pretty covers, but not my thing to read. In the same vein I'd go for all these suggestions with Mike Vosburg as did well with the female form for the little I've seen of him.

Some of the characters look right but others seem way off (his Green Lantern is way too skinny). Alex Toth on the Shadow. Hilary Barta on Inferior Five (or maybe Staton/Barta) The one artist I'd love to see on Inferior Five is Evan Dorkin. He could infuse some soap opera into it, but also a sort of hysterical panic.
