At its founding in 1971,
Marvel Comics, Adams' own
Continuity Comics, and the one-shot
Big Apple Comix. The company served as the launching pad for the careers of a number of professional cartoonists. When doing collective comics work, the artists were often credited as "
Crusty Bunkers". More established cartoonists like
Win Mortimer found work at Continuity profitable enough that they left the comics industry to work exclusively on Continuity projects. A snapshot of the studio in 1977–1978 came in the form of the wraparound cover for the oversize
celebrity comic book Superman vs. Muhammad Ali—illustrated by Continuity co-founders Neal Adams and Dick Giordano—which portrayed
Jack Abel, Mark Alexander, Joe Barney, Pat Bastine,
Cary Bates, Joe Brozowski, Joe D'Esposito, John Fuller,
Michael Netzer (Nasser),
Carl Potts,
Marshall Rogers,
Trevor Von Eeden, and
Bob Wiacek as members of "Neal Adams' Continuity Associates". == Continuity Associates members ==
