	Jim Aparo 1932 - 2005 \| ART and ARTIFICE
		Though his figures are typically elegantly muscular, Aparo did not draw (for example) abdominal muscles in the fashion that modern superhero artists do, he instead seemed at times to try and suggest clothing folds and wrinkles around the waistline.
		In the 1980s, Aparo used a shorthand outline drawing style that looks significantly more caricatured and "cartoony" compared to his earlier work, though is still identifiable as Aparo.
		Aparo is noted for having penciled, inked and lettered his own work.

	Near-Mint Heroes: R.I.P. Jim Aparo
		Aparo was notable for being one of the relatively few artists in mainstream comics at that time to serve as penciler, inker, and letterer for all of his work.
		Jim's work on Brave and the Bold was his favorite work of his time at DC as he truly considered the series his "baby." Also during this period Jim did one of the seminal runs on The Spectre, where his realistic style made the Ghostly character truly come to life.
		Jim Aparo defined Batman and many of the other characters in th DC Universe for me. I always hoped for a his return to some of DC's titles, particularly the Batman, and I'm saddened that we won't ever see any new work by one of the greats again.

	Talent Pool 25 - Jim Aparo (Jun 2001)
		Aparo began working in the same sort of blue-collar jobs many folks resort to after high school and came, by the sixties, to work for an advertising agency, where he would perform some tasks in the pasteup process for ads as well as account-maintenance duties.
		Aparo began with part-time work for Charlton while he continued his straight day job, but eventually went to his Charlton employers and said he would work for them full-time if they would provide enough work for him.
		Aparo's name most readily evokes images of Batman, and this across many years and numerous titles, half of which still appear in print, another half of which mostly failed at or around 1985.

	Bookshelf Comics - Art of Jim Aparo Interview
		Jim was a shy creator and never one to toot his own horn, so to speak, so I always got the impression that he felt a little unworthy of the accolades we planned to heap upon him.
		Jim was clearly an artist who was appreciated enough to seek out his work and keep it within eyesight for inspiration.
		Jim really knew how to keep the story moving, but interesting as well, and he never sacrificed the story for the sake of a nice image.

	Jim Aparo Interview - Comic Book Artist #9 - TwoMorrows Publishing
		Jim: Let me tell you why: At the ad agency, I used to do layout work that was in pencil for the client and then they would turn it over to the typesetter to do the paste-up for the mechanical to shoot the ads.
		Jim: I used Zip at first, but then it got to be too much of a chore because you're cutting it out and sticking it down.
		Jim: No. When DC wanted me to do more work, I called Sal to tell him I could only do another story or two and that would be it.

		Jim Aparo’s work came to me as an impressionable young man in the pages of Brave and the Bold.
		Jim started leafing through his sketches and paused at a Hawkman sketch and commented, “That one’s pretty nice.” The fan pointed to me and said, “Rags did that one.” I feigned modesty, but inside I was melting!
		Sadly, as I understand it, Jim felt that despite all his accomplishments he was not as influential as he would like to have been.

		Jim continued to work for Charlton and in 1968, when Giordano became an editor at DC Comics, Jim began drawing for that firm, as well.
		Aparo drew Aquaman, The Phantom Stranger and The Spectre for DC, but the vast majority of his work was with Batman, including a long run drawing the Batman team-ups that appeared in The Brave and the Bold.
		The strip allowed Aparo to draw just about every character in the DC Universe but especially to display a memorable, exciting interpretation of The Caped Crusader that built on the Neal Adams revamp (circa 1969) and took it off in a unique and powerful direction.

	Yet Another Comics Blog: Jim Aparo (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Aparo always struck me as a true professional, some to whom an editor could hand a script and be assured that 3 weeks later he would have the story done, to the writer's specifications, and it would look good.
		When I did encounter Aparo's work, I had various reactions depending on where I was in my comics reading growth stage.
		Whet helped most, I think, was seeing Aparo teamed with the inks of Bill Sienkiewicz (on the Batman: GCPD mini-series); by taking away the smooth line inherent in Aparo's art and making it more gritty, I was forced to realize what a strong storyteller he was and appreciate the level of his craft.

		Jim Aparo's style really grabbed me. BandB was a perfect vehicle to wean this Marvel Zombie on the DC universe, and it's decidedly different style!
		Jim Aparo singularly, through his exciting work on Brave and the Bold, got me to read more and more DC comics.
		Jim's pencils for this story were more breakdowns, leaving scribbles where hands would be on some panels.
