Neal’s had legendary ‘runs’ on Batman, X-Men, Green Lantern-Green Arrow and Deadman. Adams rescued Batman from his campy TV show, and transformed him into his present “Avenger of the Night.” When people say ‘modern Batman,’ they mean Neal Adams’ Batman. His run directly led to the realistic incarnation seen in “Batman Returns”, and the “Dark knight” movies.

In addition, Neal has launched a successful production company – Continuity Studios – which produced the popular Nasonex Bee Campaign and introduced us to the concept of Motion Comics. He designed the popular Terminator, T2 4-D ride, and the Spiderman Rides at Universal Studios.

While setting-up his own characters with various Hollywood Studios and Producers, Neal is currently writing and drawing “Batman Odyssey”, for DC, a 12 issue series, and writing and drawing a 5 issue series of Wolverine for Marvel. He is also premiering his new Vanguard art book, The Art of Neal Adams.

Before joining HLI as the Executive Director of HLI America, Jenn Giroux was the Founder and President of Women Influencing the Nation (WIN), an organization dedicated to reclaiming traditional morality in American society.

WIN places a special emphasis on regaining respect for women as mothers and the desire of many women to have more children. Jenn has been a Registered Nurse for 24 years.

In 2007, as Assistant to the President at Citizens for Community Values she developed an outreach program to help Catholic Parents shield their children from internet pornography. Between 2006 and 2008 she worked inside Kansas to expose the abuses of Late Term Abortion laws and the criminal acts of Planned Parenthood. This included being Campaign Manager for the re-election of Former Attorney General of Kansas, Phill Kline, during the only criminal case ever brought against Planned Parenthood.

Jenn is a frequent guest on Catholic Radio and has been seen debating these and many other family issues on MSNBC, CNN, and FOX News.
