ACE 2013 Guest of Honor: Neal Adams
Written on
Neal Adams is a major figure in the history of comics. He had legendary ‘runs’ on Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern/Green Arrow and Deadman. Adams rescued Batman from the campy TV show, and transformed him into his present, ‘Avenger of the Night’ persona. When people say ‘modern Batman,’ they mean Neal Adams’ Batman. His run led directly to the realistic incarnation seen in “Batman Returns”, and the ‘The Dark Knight’ movies. Neal’s ‘Batman Odyssey’ for DC, (a 13-issue series) is coming out in graphic novel form in the fall, he writing and drawing, The First X-Men, (a 5-issue series), for Marvel, and writing and drawing an epic graphic novel, featuring his own character, ‘Blood’, that is being serialized in the ‘Dark Horse Presents’ anthology monthly. (A movie deal on ‘Blood’ is soon to be completed).
‘Describe him in one word? Genius.’ –Joe Quesada, Editor in Chief, Marvel Comics.
‘He’s a pivotal figure in the world of comics. He has positively altered the state, the ethical structure of the industry, and always for the better.’ -Harlan Ellison
‘Adams transformed Batman into the sleek, brooding Dark Knight depicted onscreen for the past two decades.’ -Brian Lowry, Variety
‘Who is the greatest living comic book artist? As I’ve said before, my vote is for Neal Adams’ -Geoff Boucher, LA Times

Nicholas Brendon was a huge hit at the first ACE in 2011, and returns to Albuquerque in 2013. Best known to audiences as the sardonic Xander Harris on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ a role he played for the seven-year run of the show, he’s currently recurring as FBI technical analyst Kevin Lynch on the hit CBS series ‘Criminal Minds’.
His film credits include the upcoming independent films ‘Big Gay Love’ and ‘Morningside Monster’; cult favorite ‘Psycho Beach Party’; ‘My Neighbor’s Secret’ for Lifetime; ‘A Golden Christmas’ for ION; and ‘Celeste in the City’ and ‘Relative Chaos’ for ABC Family. He has also appeared in a number of Los Angeles-based theater productions, including two consecutive, often sold-out runs in the one-man show ‘The Santaland Diaries.’ Offscreen, the Los Angeles native enjoys quality time with his loved ones, Dodger games, writing and cooking.
