Arthur has been involved in the comic industry since the early '80's. Though the beginning was modest, he came to public notice and critical acclaim via the ground-breaking "Longshot" mini-series. Arthur combines a dynamic, lively and good-natured style with well planned layouts and incredible attention to detail. Top artist Mike Bair of JSA fame recently said that Arthur is "the best inker in the industry". High-praise indeed from a guy whose inking is virtually three-dimensional. Arthur's style is so well-admired and influential that a whole cadre of "new" artists have emulated him.
In today's market-place obtaining a potential customer's attention is imperative. Ultimately, a company survives if their product has appeal and is purchased. Covers are often the most visible selling point for any comic. So, why not have an artist who has time proven fan appreciation do your cover? Arthur's talents are in high demand by virtually every comic company executive. Arthur doesn't produce a lot of art. But for this level of quality, why should anyone expect more?

The comic industry has survived many ups and downs. Of recent memory, the boom of the '80's and the bust of the '90's. In that time and more, there have been many comic artists. However, only the truly great artists have had any lasting appeal. We all know who. The comic artist of the modern era seems somewhat overshadowed by those of the past. One artist, though, has proven a consistent fan favorite in every endeavor: ART ADAMS. Arthur has been involved in the comic industry since the early '80's.
