In today's interview, authors Jim Amash and Eric Nolen-Weathington discuss their new book, Jim Aparo: Brave & Bold Artist, exploring why they wanted to shine a spotlight on the legendary but perhaps underappreciated artist whose distinctive style—characterized by crisp inking, dramatic shadows, and expressive faces—defined Batman and other DC characters for generations of readers. The collaborators share insights from interviews and research into Aparo's life and career, highlighting his iconic run on The Brave and the Bold alongside essential work on Aquaman, Phantom Stranger, and The Spectre, while revealing lesser-known facts and surprises they uncovered about his creative process and collaborations. They discuss what readers can expect from the book, including rare original art and archival material, how Aparo adapted his approach to different characters, and what set him apart from his contemporaries.

The book just came out this week (2/18/26 to be specific), and you can buy it on publisher TwoMorrows's site or wherever you get your books!
