I grew up with his fearsome/legendary run of the Specter (Which I used to read over and over) and of course The Phantom Stranger which I recently rediscovered and have been enjoying thru the treasure of back issues. But of course his greatest feat is the luster and craft he added to the legacy of The Batman! Jim Aparo really defined him and his name should be added to the roll call of elite contributors/artists who made batman what he is today: Adams, Rodgers, Sprang, Finger, Englehart,Giordiano,etc. Some people ask me if I read comics because its a way of being in touch with my childhood. I generally say no. However when I read a Jim Aparo Brave and the Bold then I have to say yes! I am instantly transported to my childhood summers, relaxing by the swimming pool reading a Batman/Mr Miracle adventure!

Just wanted to say that I really liked your own tribute to Aparo over on <A HREF="http://sevenhells.blogspot.com/2005/07/lest-we-forget-jim-aparo.html" REL="nofollow">"Seven Hells!"</A> I didn't know that BATO was a "gateway" comic, but it certainly makes sense (and Aparo's art must have had a lot to do with that).
