Description

Here’s a great page from Jim Aparo featuring Batman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Black Canary and the Guardians of the Universe! It’s the concluding page of a flashback to the historic Denny Oneil and Neal Adams Green Lantern / Green Arrow run, 10 years prior.

I always loved Aparo’s art and especially enjoyed his amazing 100-issue run on Brave and Bold where he had the opportunity to have fun with Batman --- and nearly all of the key characters in the DCU.

But confession time: I missed most of the last third of his B&B output the first time around. College — both logistics and budgetary concerns — kept my acquisitions in the late 70s and early 80s limited.

Which is likely why I missed the very cool two-part story that provides some follow-up to the specific Guardian of the Universe (“Old Timer”) who travelled around with Green Lantern and Green Arrow back in the day.

Excellent, clever writing from Gerry Conway, and to repeat the obvious, great art by Aparo.

Classic.

Nice callback to the O'Neil/Neal hard travelling heroes story. Aparo's art is so convincing as a continuation of the story. If Batman joined GL/GA/Canary back the during his own gothic supernatural stories, we would have had a Scooby Gang!
