Description

Well, it is not a Golden Age cover but it features a Golden Age character so I feel pretty happy. I loved this run as a kid and am very happy to have this.

The BEST Spectre series of them all. This scene harkens back to those  great and classic More Fun Comics covers.

One of my favorite series as well.  Aparo's art suits the Spectre so well.  The cover works so well in black & white.  Classic!

Classic cover by Aparo!  This stretch is recognized as his best work!  Maybe because of theme and freedom to work it was what inspired the best out of him.

Killer cover! The Aparo/Fleisher run on the Spectre is a high watermark in mainstream comics.

AMAZING piece Mike!  This run is epic in both content and art!  Much more EC than DC feel to it. Congratulations and thank you for sharing this!

Phenomenal cover to Adventure Comics featuring the Spectre! Just a great cover with the Spectre appearing in front of a car escaping from some crime scene, with the passengers blasing their machine guns at whoever's following them! Stunning compositiion and sharp, crisp inks on this cover from legendary Jim Aparo. Fantastic pick-up, congrats!
