Description

Original artwork for Adventure Comics Vol. 1 #432 page 2 (DC, 1974) by the incomparable talent of Jim Aparo (pencils, inks and letters). From the grim tale entitled, "The Anguish of...the Spectre," this page features the opening twilight scene as the trio of villains break into the estate of Adrian Sterling. After scaling the perimeter wall, one perpetuator easily takes out the pair of attacking Dobermans with his revolver and they prepare to vault over the electric fence. Sterling would prove to be Gwendolyn Sterling's father and Gwen would soon become Jim Corrigan's love interest in this series.

These issues are considered to contain the Spectre stories par excellence, bar none. Original artwork pages from this brief, yet remarkable run in Adventure Comics #431-440 is very rare and highly sought after among seasoned collectors. This unforgettable series firmly established the Astral Avenger as the top Bad-Ass in the entire DC Universe, a supernatural superhero totally unrivaled in power and Divine authority, granted unto him by the Almighty Himself, as he acted as Judge, Jury and Executioner upon evildoers. Writer Michael Fleisher's storylines were darkly grim, gritty and gruesome, while artist Jim Aparo's illustrations were simply breathtaking.

Very special thank you to my friend, Nick Katradis for selling me this beautiful piece of artwork.
