Publisher Description. Skybound and Image Comics, in partnership with Scott Dunbier's Act 4 Publishing, revealed an extended preview of art from Jim Aparo's DC Classics Artist's Edition, available everywhere books are sold in September 2025.
With over 175 pages of classic original art in Jim Aparo's DC Classics Artist's Edition, this hardcover tome truly honors one of DC's most prolific artists through the 1970s and 1980s. This gorgeous hardcover presents classic Aparo art from what is regarded as his peak period and features nine stories, including four complete The Brave and the Bold stories, five complete Adventure Comics issues featuring The Spectre, as well as a selection of classic covers and pages.
Although appearing to be in black and white, all the art is scanned in color, enabling the reader to see the work as close to the original as possible – ink gradients, blue pencil, and all the unique nuances that make original art so special are all clearly visible and printed at the same size as drawn.
The Artist's Edition of Jim Aparo's work is an art book disguised as a comic collection. The only better way to see these pages is by looking over Aparo's shoulder at his drawing board!
Jim Aparo's DC Classics Artist's Edition (SRP $150.00; 192 pgs.; Hardcover; ISBN: 978-1-5343-3487-8) will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday September 17, 2025.
