Legendary Batman and X-Men artist Neal Adams said, "If you're interested in getting to the thought process that has gone into the work that I have done, this could be just the sketchbook that does it for you. Here, if you like, you can climb down into my mind. Just watch the first step, it's a doosey." Vanguard enlisted Arlen Schumer to help compile the Adams Sketchbook. Schumer has proven to be a top Adams historian, following his definitive, Neal Adams: the DC Years for Comic Book Marketplace and his, Neal Adams: the Marvel Years for Comic Book Artist magazine.
