For a generation of comic-book readers, JIM APARO is considered the greatest Batman artist of them all. Aparo—with his strong, dynamic style, well-grounded in realism— together with Batman, made a team worthy of the title, The Brave and the Bold. Before that team-up book, he made a name for himself on such series as Aquaman, the controversial “Spectre,” and the mysterious Phantom Stranger. He later drew the death of Robin and the breaking of Batman—two of the biggest Batman events ever. Now, TwoMorrows Publishing turns the Bat Signal on the life and work of one of comics’ finest! From his time in the world of advertising art, at Charlton Comics on “Nightshade” and The Phantom, through his heyday in the ’70s and beyond, Aparo’s career is finally given the attention it so richly deserves. This book is lavishly illustrated with Aparo’s work, including many rare and previously-unpublished pieces, and includes an introduction by award-winning artist Alan Davis.
