His grandfather, <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Adams_(architect)" title="Thomas Adams (architect)">Thomas Adams</a> (1871–1940), was an influential urban planner, who served as an advisor to <a href="/wiki/Herbert_Hoover" title="Herbert Hoover">Herbert Hoover</a> and <a href="/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt" title="Franklin D.

His two sons went on to make their mark in American and English town and urban planning. The younger son, Frederick Johnstone Adams, was a member of the faculty of <a href="/wiki/MIT" class="mw-redirect" title="MIT">MIT</a> from 1932 to 1964, who helped to establish the Department of Urban Studies and Planning, serving as its first Head of Department from 1944 to 1957. Tom Adams's father, James W. Renwick Adams OBE (1898–1969), worked as a planner for the English county council of Kent. From this background, the strong sense of visual composition in Tom Adams's work becomes more understandable. Moreover, Adams's visual work is drawn to the challenge of integrating seemingly disparate elements into an integral whole. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life_and_career">Early life and career</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tom_Adams_(illustrator)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Early life and career"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Adams served for two years in the navy (1944–1946).

Apart from a few gaps when pursuing other activities (like running art galleries), Adams remained with Pomfret for many years. With Pomfret's representation, Adams began a career as a book cover illustrator, most notably for the early <a href="/wiki/John_Fowles" title="John Fowles">John Fowles</a>'s novels <i>The Collector</i>, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Magus_(novel)" title="The Magus (novel)">The Magus</a></i> and <i><a href="/wiki/The_French_Lieutenant%27s_Woman" title="The French Lieutenant's Woman">The French Lieutenant's Woman</a></i> and the now famous paperback covers for <a href="/wiki/Agatha_Christie" title="Agatha Christie">Agatha Christie</a> (Collins UK and Simon & Schuster USA).

Indeed, she was part of <a href="/wiki/Allen_Lane" title="Allen Lane">Allen Lane</a>’s famous ten-book launch of <a href="/wiki/Penguin_Books" title="Penguin Books">Penguin Books</a>. The success of Penguin Books in the UK and PocketBooks in the US—niche paperback publishers—in the years following WWII, inspired traditional publishers to produce paperbacks. By the early 60s, Collins decided it wanted to do something more artistically distinct with Christie’s paperback covers. Impressed with Adams’s cover for <a href="/wiki/John_Fowles" title="John Fowles">John Fowles</a>’ <i><a href="/wiki/The_Collector" title="The Collector">The Collector</a></i>, Collins engaged Adams. </p><p>He was commissioned to do a trial cover of <i><a href="/wiki/A_Murder_Is_Announced" title="A Murder Is Announced">A Murder Is Announced</a></i>, which was published with his cover in 1962. Everyone involved was pleased with the outcome. As a result, Adams ended up doing covers for many of Christie's paperbacks, often more than once. The covers he primarily did not create art for were the pre-1926 books which Fontana did not have the publishing rights to. PocketBooks in the US very much wanted more realistic covers. For this reason, most of Adams's covers for the US editions feature a single dramatic or portentous scene from the novel than spans the front and rear covers. The two exceptions are "Nemesis" and "The Mystery of the Blue Train".<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Fontana in the UK was much more open to Adams's creative input. Thus, the UK covers were often akin to a stylized tableau or surrealist collage. Adams ended up doing the covers for Agatha Christie paperbacks for twenty-eight years (1962-1980), thus becoming connected with her intimately in the minds of many readers. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Technique_and_style">Technique and style</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tom_Adams_(illustrator)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Technique and style"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Adams's book cover artwork, while usually instantly recognizable, runs to quite distinct modes. Some covers are still-life tableaux; some are depictions of a scene in the novel; some are surrealist collations of items and images. Organizing the vast majority of them, however, is Adams's unique exploration of a form that was vital for much of twentieth-century art: the collage. </p><p>Adams's unique take on this was to bring the collage back into the realm of the painterly. Seen in this light, even Adams's covers that seem like still lifes are, in actuality, juxtapositions of elements and objects that normally are not in such proximity. It is this uncanny proximity—despite (or, rather, precisely because of) the near photo-realistic accuracy—that creates the unsettling effect. </p><p>This element also goes to explain one of the most distinctive features of Adams's art: the combination of a sought-after realistic accuracy with an unsettling, surrealist, if not alienating, effect. As <a href="/wiki/Janet_Morgan,_Lady_Balfour_of_Burleigh" title="Janet Morgan, Lady Balfour of Burleigh">Janet Morgan</a>, Agatha Christie's first biographer, put it, Adams's drawings are "alarmingly realistic." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Doctor_Who"><i>Doctor Who</i></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Tom_Adams_(illustrator)&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Doctor Who"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Adams' design for the <a href="/wiki/Fontana_Books" class="mw-redirect" title="Fontana Books">Fontana Books</a> edition of the <a href="/wiki/Agatha_Christie" title="Agatha Christie">Agatha Christie</a> mystery <i><a href="/wiki/Death_in_the_Clouds" title="Death in the Clouds">Death in the Clouds</a></i>, featuring a giant wasp, inspired the monster in the <i><a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who" title="Doctor Who">Doctor Who</a></i> adventure <i><a href="/wiki/The_Unicorn_and_the_Wasp" title="The Unicorn and the Wasp">The Unicorn and the Wasp</a></i>, broadcast in 2008.
