JIM APARO
(1932-2005)
Today, the Batman community lost of of its most influential creators. Jim Aparo, who held the record for the longest artistic stint on the flagship Batman title, passed away at age 73.
If you grew up with Batman during the late 80’s and early 90’s, then there’s no denying his Mr. Aparo’s talent. He drew it all. He was there when The Joker killed Robin. He was there when Bane broke The Bat. He was even there when Gotham was leveled by the quake. When the Gothamites left town before the No Man’s Land Act, Mr. Aparo left along with them. But his mark on the fictional city could never be forgotten.
Thank you for everything, Jim. The first time I ever saw Batman, it was YOUR Batman. And for that, I will never forget you…
