Amazed By Aparo: "The River That Never Ends!"


What it is, Groove-ophiles! I dunno why I haven't done this sooner, but here comes yet another new department--"Amazed By Aparo"! Yep, from time to time, we're gonna swoon over the amazing artistry of the late, great Jim Aparo (1932-2005). To kick things off, here's an early Phantom tale from his Charlton days, "The River That Never Ends!" Jungle action abounds in this "Norm Dipluhm"-penned potboiler from The Phantom #36 (November 1969), so we get to see the Amazing Mr. Aparo at his best. Enjoy!
