Very nice blog on a very talented and distinctive artist. Is this cover all Aparo or could it have been inked by Dick Giordano? I know Aparo usually inked himself, especially at Charlton, but the linework here looks very much like Giordano.…
That's great, Michael. I had know idea he'd done any hot rod work. I always loved his Batmobile. I wonder if there's an Aparo hot rod story buried in one of those old Charlton titles. They have not been indexed very well - so you never know…
Don't forget, though, that the character stared out wearing a trenchcoat and if memory serves a suit and tie before the late 60's revival.And I also seem to recall Aparo showing the Stranger's eyes at least once towards the end of his run,

Thanks for bringing this to my attention MW. I had no idea this was available. I've just ordered a copy... and I can't wait to read it. Your blog is fantastic and very informative. Craig. I'll have to pick this up too. I never knew about th…
