JIM APARO Brave & Bold Artist

The writing 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, Jim Aparo ― considered by a generation of comic-book readers as the greatest Batman artist of them all.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 The book is lavishly illustrated with Aparo’s work, including many rare and previously unpublished pieces.Includes an introduction by award-winning artist Alan Davis, and a new Aparo cover inked by Mike DeCarlo!
