Sketches, etc.

Way back in the early 90’s, when I was working in the trenches of DC Comics’ Production Department, I used to occasionally dig through piles of junk (slated for the trash bin) in hopes of finding some nice cover photostats and photocopies of penciled pages. What can I say? I’m a junk collector. I’ve heard stories over the years of staffers finding discarded cover art and other treasures (I personally know someone who found a silver age Marvel cover years ago under what was thought to only be a photostat). Anyway, I saved a bunch of photocopied covers and layouts and, lo and behold, years later I realized among the copies I had saved were some original cover sketches. Here are a few of the Aparo pieces I was lucky enough to have saved from the trash bin!
