APARO: Adventure Comics #439: The Spectre

When I was 10, I got a copy of "The Great Comic Book Heroes" by Jules Feiffer for Xmas, and it was the first time I ever saw the mysterious Spectre reprinted from All-Star Comics #1 by Siegel & Baily. I was always a Marvel Zombie up to that point, but the Spectre was my introduction to the more macabre and spooky DC characters that included Deadman, Phantom Stranger, & Dr. Fate. I later became obsessed with finding all the Spectre comic appearances from the Silver and Bronze age, and the Adventure run by Fleisher/Aparo was at the top of the list. Finding Aparo Spectre art is exceedingly rare, so this is a precious gem for me.
