Welcome to the page where we showcase Adam Eterno or at least the comics who gave him the front page treatment! It was usually a good indicator of popularity of a given series if a character featured on the cover. And even though he graced a few of the covers during his time at Lion and Valiant , it was to be abroad that he really got attention!
