The death that changed Batman forever is captured in this chilling hardcover edition that hasn't been released in a decade!
Jim Starlin is the acclaimed author of classic graphic novels
including, for DC Comics, Cosmic Odyssey and Batman- A Death in the
Family, as well as the 1982 Marvel graphic novelThe Death of
Captain Marvel. His other works include the space
operasWarlockandDreadstar.
A self-taught artist, Jim Aparo first attempted to break into the
industry in the early 1950s at the legendary E.C. Comics group.
When E.C. rejected his work, Aparo turned to advertising art in his
native Connecticut, where he specialized in illustrating newspaper
fashion ads while continuing his efforts to work in comics. His
dream was finally realized in 1966 when Charlton Comics editor Dick
Giordano hired him to draw a humorous character called Miss Bikini
Luv inGo-Go Comics. Sharpening his skills on such features as the
Phantom, Nightshade, Wander and Thane of Bagarth, Aparo followed
Giordano to DC Comics in 1968 where he quickly gained notice for
his smooth, realistic style on such titles as Aquaman, The Brave
and the Bold, The Phantom Stranger, The Spectre, The House Of
Mystery, The House Of Secrets, Batman, Detective Comics, and Batman
and the Outsiders. An artist whose work is still considered a
high-water mark for the industry, Aparo died on July 19, 2005.
