Jim Aparo: Brave & Bold Artist

TwoMorrows Publishing spotlights one of my faves: An art-heavy bio/tribute to Aparo, whose work on Batman, Aquaman, the Spectre set a dark, realistic tone for the 1970s Bronze Age of comics. Text by Jim Amash and Eric Nolen-Weathington with an intro by Alan Davis.

176 pages, hardcover.
