Steve Skeates, born in 1943, is an American comic book creator
known for his work on such titles as Hawk and Dove, T.H.U.N.D.E.R.
Agents, Plop!, and extensive work on Aquaman.
Born in 1932, Jim Aparo was a self-taught artist who first
attempted to break into the industry in the early 1950s with the
legendary EC Comics group. When his work was rejected, Aparo turned
to advertising art in his native Connecticut, specializing in
fashion illustrations for newspaper advertisements while he
continued trying to break into comics. His dream was finally
realized in 1966 when editor Dick Giordano at Charlton Comics hired
him as a comic book artist; his first assignment was a humorous
character called Miss Bikini Luv in Go-Go Comics. Sharpening his
skills on such strips as the Phantom, Nightshade, Wander and Thane
of Bagarth, Aparo followed editor Giordano to DC Comics in 1968.
Jim Aparo quickly gained notice for his smooth, realistic style on
such books as AQUAMAN, THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD, THE PHANTOM, THE
SPECTRE, BATMAN (including the seminal "A Death in the Family"
storyline, depicting the death of Jason (Robin) Todd), DETECTIVE
COMICS, BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS as well as countless stories for
HOUSE OF MYSTERY and HOUSE OF SECRETS. An artist whose work is
still considered a high-water mark for the industry, Jim Aparo died
on July 19, 2005.
