kenneth g - My wife and I felt the need to express our deep appreciation for the service we have received both in mail order and in person at conventions these past six years in doing business with you ! You have been very fair in pricing the art and even cutting your prices lower for the sale . I have tried to deal the OTHER DEALERS with really overblown prices for their art, but you and your staff have held your Integrity all these years and made collecting original art affordable to the working class . Both Diana and I thank you and your staff ! Looking forward to doing business with you many more years to come ! Kenneth & Diana G. |
James N. "Jim" Aparo (August 24, 1932 – July 19, 2005) was an American comic book artist best known for his 1960s and 1970s DC Comics work, including on the characters Batman, Aquaman and the Spectre.
Aparo's style was primarily in the tradition of his influential contemporary Neal Adams, striving for realistic renditions of his subject rather than caricature or exaggeration. Aparo's muscular figures tended to be leaner than those drawn by most of his peers. He paid particular attention to detail in rendering vehicles, "street clothes", architecture, and landscape. He frequently tilted the viewpoint so that the horizon line in a panel was significantly angled away from level, and used props such as potted plants and furniture to emphasize depth in a setting. He was also known for inserting drawings of celebrities (such as Humphrey Bogart, Peter Falk, Ed McMahon, and Fred Allen) as background characters in heavily-populated scenes.
