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. But before that team-up book- he made a name for himself on such series as Aquaman- the controversial “Spectre-” and the mysterious Phantom Stranger- and is considered by many to be the definitive artist for each. Now- the team of Jim Amash and Eric Nolen-Weathington (editors of Matt Baker: The Art of Glamour; Carmine Infantino: Penciler- Publisher- Provocateur; and Sal Buscema: Comics’ Fast and Furious Artist) turn 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 the heyday of the ’70s- and beyond the death of Robin- Aparo’s career is finally given the attention it so richly deserves. The book is lavishly illustrated with Aparo’s work- including many rare and previously-unpublished pieces. Includes an introduction by award-winning artist Alan Davis- and a new Aparo cover inked by Mike DeCarlo!
