Masters and Monsters: UnderGroundOnline talks with comics legend Neal Adams about the recently released Neal Adams Monsters, and reprints of his earlier work for DC and Marvel:

"They try to make it like they are not reprinting Neal Adams; it's just X-Men or Batman stories. Each time they do it, it gets clearer they are doing Neal Adams books. It's sort of embarrassing to me because people want me to sign these things. Sure there is per page royalty but its pretty much what everyone else gets and it's not very big. There's no real recognition that they are doing Neal Adams reprints. Then the herd starts to thin out; they're reprinting an awful lot of Neal Adams and not so much anyone else. In this past year they wanted to reprint every Batman story I ever did in three volumes, from the crappiest World's Finest to some of the cooler stuff. I finally called over and told them they had to give me some kind of additional percentage because essentially you are saying "It's Neal Adams' Batman." You're not selling Batman you're selling Neal Adams. They finally said I was right. After they print $75 and $50 books I guess they finally decided to admit it before it turns into something stupid. So we're going over contracts now and they will pay me additional money."
