Wanted Art Book: The Brave and Bold Art of Jim Aparo

Dork Note: This book, the Brave and Bold Art of Jim Aparo, was solicited, but never released. I believe it was due to Jim Aparo's passing in 2005 at the age of 72. I do hope TwoMorrows Publishing does publish this book one day, but since its been 10 years it is pretty doubtful.

Jim Aparo deserves his own book. His most famous artwork included A Death in the Family, Batman story that had fans vote on whether or not Robin (Jason Todd) should be killed.

In today's climate where most comic book artist no longer have "long" runs on a book, Jim Aparo was of a caliber above most. His Brave and Bold stint ran a little over a hundred issues as did his bit on Batman. So although this book does not exist...it should. If it's ever released I will certainly buy it.

P.S. By the way, check out TwoMorrow Publishing, they have an amazing selection of books and magazines that they put out on the comic book industry. I subscribe to Back Issue; which has some great articles in a wide range of Dorkness.
