Arthur '''Adams''', born in 1963 in Holyoke , Massachusetts , is an American Writer and Artist noted for his work on Comic Books . A self-taught artist, Adams wanted to work in comics since his childhood. He became a fan favorite when he penciled the critically acclaimed '' Longshot '' Miniseries , written by Ann Nocenti and published in 1985 by Marvel Comics . Adams' highly distinctive and detailed artwork gained him considerable popularity, and he found it easy to find further work in the field. However, the labor-intensive nature of producing said artwork has the downside of Adams being fairly slow to provide on the short deadlines oft found in the comics industry, which has contributed to him never working as the illustrator of a regular title for an extended period of time. Despite this notoriety for having trouble with his deadlines, the consistently popular Adams has worked on notable series, including various '' X-Men '' titles, '' Fantastic Four '', '' The Authority '', '' Tom Strong '', '' Gen 13 '' and numerous Annuals . He is also known for ''Art Adams' Creature Features'' a collection of previously published stories, which paid tribute to various B-movie monsters, and his Creator-owned series '' Monkeyman And O'Brien '', both published by Dark Horse Comics . Along with writer Alan Moore , Adams is the co-creator of Jonni Future , a popular character in '' Tom Strong's Terrific Tales ''. Adams is also a highly regarded cover artist, and he has provided images for numerous trading cards, posters, and other similar items. His work on Longshot won him the Russ Manning Award in 1986. He also won, with writer Bob Burden , the 1988 Best Single Issue Eisner Award for '' Gumby Summer Fun Special #1''. He was nominated for the R.A.C. "Squiddy" Award for Favorite Artist in 1989 and 1990, the R.A.C. "Squiddy" Award for Cover Artist in 1998, 2000, and 2004, and the R.A.C. "Squiddy" Award for Favorite Penciller in 1994, 1996, 1997, and 2002. Adams was also one of the founders of the short-lived Legend imprint for Dark Horse Comics. EXTERNAL LINKS |
