Danny L. Adkins[1] (March 15, 1937[2] – May 3, 2013)[1][3] was an American illustrator who worked mainly for comic books and science-fiction magazines.

He left the state "when I was about 7" as his family moved to Pennsylvania; Reno, Nevada; Phoenix, Arizona; New York; Ohio; and New Jersey.

After I got a second stripe as Airman Second Class, I became an illustrator, from about eight months after basic training, for the remaining three years I was in the service.

As an illustrator, I had a whole room to myself with equipment to turn out posters to put in front of the base library or movie theatre.

He moved to New York City and when he was "about 24" years old was an art director for the Hearst Corporation's American Druggist and New Medical Material magazines.

Wood and Adkins collaborated on a series of stories for Warren Publishing's black-and-white horror-comics magazines Creepy and Eerie.

[6] In 2019, Adkins was inducted into the Inkwell Awards Joe Sinnott Hall of Fame for his lifetime achievement and outstanding accomplishments.
