Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities My Big-Ass Pile o'Trades Waiting To Be Read At My Whim

Another great Lardy review. It's been a while. But the wait makes it even more wonderful.

I am a HUGE Jim Aparo fan, but, oddly enough, his Aquaman work is one of the few (maybe the only) of his major works that I'm unfamiliar with. Chalk it up to lack of reprints, and/or my dislike of Aquaman as written by anyone other than Peter Allen David. Hopefully the library will get in this collection, or maybe they already do have it (I'll check their catalog after this post.) Thanks, Lardy.

Aparo's Bronze Age work (I consider the Bronze Age to have begun in 1968 and ended circa 1982-85) is indeed breathtaking in its rich detail (he was one of the few comic book artists at the time to use a technique similar to stippling.) https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/stipple

The fact that he was his own inker (and his own letterer) for nearly 20 years definitely distinguished him.

While I agree that his people were more attractive in his Pre-BATO work, I also really love the economy and the purity of line in his early BATO issues. In that respect, Aparo gave the estimable likes of Walt Simonson and Alex Toth a run for their money, and it's something that I aspire to in my own artwork.

But, yeah, the Post-Bronze Age Aparo is definitely more of an "artist's artist" than when he was on Aquaman, Phantom Stranger (which I have read, and I love,) and Spectre (which I dislike, mainly because the writing quickly got gimmicky and formulaic.) Then, of course, there's his long run on Brave and the Bold -- while the stories aren't much, Aparo consistently performs above and beyond his remit.

The real hidden gems in the Aparo canon are his handful of mid-1970s contributions to "Detective Comics." One of them, "Deathmask" (DC 437, scripted by Archie Goodwin) was memorable enough to be deservedly included in the original "Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told" trade.

Here's Aparo's bibiliography and list of collected editions:

EDIT: The library does have it! YAY! Thanks again, Lardy!

I don't think you'll be disappointed--and just may be tempted to steal it!

That said, it's no accident that I focused on the art first. They definitely elevate the scripts. But I do stand by the story being engaging and adventurous. I love quests in general (something I liked about the movie), and this one fits the bill pretty nicely. The ocean's a big world unto itself, so it's good to see a smidge of it explored here and the adventures that ensue.

"Unexpected gem," a phrase Lardy uses in his above review, is the perfect term to describe "Aquaman: The Search for Mera."

Of late, I had become dismissive (or at least skeptical) of pretty much everything DC has published since 1967. But this story is every bit as dynamic and spectacular as anything that was coming out concurrently from Marvel at the time of its bimonthly publication (1968-69.) As such, it's the first "traditional" Aquaman story (as opposed to Peter David's refreshing contrariness in his Aquaman stories) that I have ever enjoyed.

Oh, I could quibble that the resolution feels truncated by the last two installments being several pages shorter than the previous ones, and I don't think the blend of oceanic fantasy and surface-world grit is as smooth as it could have been. But overall, Steve Skeates does a fine job of combining various elements du jour with timelessly archetypal adventure tales. Aquaman runs the full emotional gamut, with moments of vulnerability and of bad-assery carrying equal weight. The same can be said for Mera, a character I had *never* liked until reading this story.

NIck Cardy's covers are indeed beautiful to behold. But it takes nothing away from Cardy's merit to say that they are merely the aperitifs for the visual feasts served up on the interior pages by Jim Aparo.

Aparo, born in 1932, had been trying to break into comics since the early 1950s, only for the contraction of the industry Post-Wertham to force him to settle for working in advertising. That is, until 1966, when Aparo's persistence finally paid off and he started getting comic-book work from Charlton. By the time ex-Charlton editor Dick Giordano brought Aparo with him over to DC and gave the artist the Aquaman gig, Aparo's distinctive style had already been honed to perfection.

The art in this Aquaman saga truly feels like the work of a late bloomer finally blossoming in a tremendous way. Aparo is energetic yet never bombastic, inventive yet never show-offy, detailed without the cluttered excesses of some of the younger artists who were waiting in the wings (i.e. Barry Smith,) and pleasing to the senses without losing that certain earthy quality that kept Aparo anchored (forgive the pun) to a certain level of believability, no matter how outrageous the level of imaginative fantasy.

Lardy was right about this story. He was also right that it's awfully tempting at the moment to steal this hardcover and tell the library I "lost" it.

Wow -- this is the biggest your big-ass pile has ever gotten. And that's a good thing!

And I'm very pleased to see "Fun Home" in the pile. Get ready for a good, cathartic cry -- I know I had one when I read it.

It IS as unwieldy as it's ever been! Those COVID sales my CBS ran to drum up business while new comics weren't being shipped (documented in the previous Pile update) REALLY inflated the Pile by tempting me with LOTS of stuff I ordinarily wouldn't have gotten! I also didn't read tons of trades the last 3 months because I took about a month off to read floppies.


I had heard of it before, but it was your recommendation a while ago that made me pick it up. I'll let you know what I think!

Yay!

I sigh with envy over your Big-Ass Pile o'Trades!

How do you decide what to read next? Just take the next one off the stack or do you have an order in mind?

I just read whichever one strikes my fancy, which is the benefit of having such a large assortment available. Sometimes, I'll take around a dozen out for a mini-to-read pile. These usually consist of trades with smaller page counts.

If I have a lot of something onhand, like several current-series Star Wars, Spider-Man or Rebirth trades, the next one will be read at least once every three months. And there are others, that when I get them, the interest for me is so strong, I know I'll read it soon. For example, I enjoyed Aquaman: Search for Mera so much, I knew that after I got Deadly Waters, containing the next batch of issues, that it would be read very shortly. (It's my next read.) And, BOY, I enjoyed my Tales of the Batman: Gerry Conway books so much, I knew they wouldn't last long, try as I might to wait for savoring purposes!

I like having so many to choose from, but I must admit they are getting unwieldy, especially after those COVID sales!

I'll be interested to hear what you think of this, Pal... I've read the five trades but need to pick up the 80-page final issue, #27.

Is it true that Paladin stacked his to read pile, enabling Nasa to run a space elevator along the side of it?

I might read it soon. I'm currently reading the Ms.Tree book and haven't decided what's next, so maybe that'll be the one.



It's almost big enough!

[snip]


Even though I don't read as voraciously as you all do, it does my shriveled black heart good to see people remembering Aparo so fondly. I always liked him. He had something of the quirky, "elastic" feel I associate with Ditko, but he was still his own thing.

Very well said, Cleome!

Had a look through your most recent updates... I didn't see any mention of SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN vol 1(James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera, Boom Studios). While school shopping for my niece Mackenzie, I stopped by Newbury Comics at the Buckland Mall last week, and found some indie stuff I'd missed with my DCBS preorders... the latest Mouse Guard oneshot, the first issue of JHW3's ECHOLANDS, and this trade... After reading my mini-haul, I immediately added Echolands 2 and 3, and the next two trades for SIKTC. The premise involves a female monster hunter who's travelling from town to town finding and destroying monsters that only children (and she, by virtue of some kind of training) can see. Some gruesomeness ensues visually, but the initial groundwork laid out and the cliffhanger at the end hooked me and got me to seek out what was available for order.

Pov, I don't get SOMETHING IS KILLING THE CHILDREN in trades--I get it in floppies!!! The last time I visited my floppie pile, I read what amounts to the first trade plus a few issues. I find this book highly entertaining. The pacing may lend itself slightly better to trades, but I do find each issue generally satisfying. The book and its premise could be considered a dark one, and indeed it doesn't flinch from its titular subject matter. But its Buffy-like premise on a larger scale has a lot going for it, and it unlike anything else on the stands. Excellent, can't-miss book which, btw, is burning it up on the after-market!

Yeah, I saw that... So, much like The Walking Dead, I've forgone the floppies for the trades. Glad you got in on it early enough!

Issue one is not a first print for me. I think only one more is not because my CBS missed it on the pull.

Don't mean to imply that I'm getting it for any other reason than the fact that I enjoy it, but I think its back issue inflation shows it's a quality, initially overlooked book, in this case, at least.

Dear Lardy,

Climate change is on the news a *lot* at the moment. If we are to escape the floods by climbing the Giant Stack of Trades, could you confirm that the books at the bottom have been stored in waterproof baggies (also giving them a 9.0 rating in the post ragnarok comic market).

Your sincerely,

Beanstalk Jack
