Adventure Comics #436 page 5

A companion page to my previously posted one. Not as emotionally impactful, but still a gem to admire. If you can’t get a page with The Pectre on it, then getting his alter ego is the next best thing. My wife pointed out to me how I am drawn to pages that have a chiaroscuro quality. Aparo really shows off his talent for layout, storytelling and technique on this page. I love these older pages where everything is on the page. They don’t depend on an inker filling in solids or a colorist for backgrounds.
