You can see Aparo improve through the years through these splash pages.giantsizegeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04598725162793806330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-45439957210825075242011-01-21T12:18:05.841-05:002011-01-21T12:18:05.841-05:00Love all the pages, except for Aqualad: he looks l...Love all the pages, except for Aqualad: he looks like he has a 35 year old face and a 15 year old body.

Cardy's Aqua-work occurred in the pre-Groovy days, though. So here's a request for any interior artwork (as opposed to all the covers he did for DC) you can find by Cardy during the Groovy Age.Dave Blanchardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-8775830006291966392011-01-21T08:23:33.550-05:002011-01-21T08:23:33.550-05:00Totally awesome!

I was always disappointed beside's doing one cover for the Comic Reader using Capt.Marvel/Shazam. <br /><br />That DC never let him draw the Big Red Cheese as a back up atleast or in the B & the B with Batman a few times. There's alway room for Aparo, like Jello. Their both awesome! I will always regret not having him. As well as John Buscema & Dave Cockrum do commissions for me. <br /><br />By the time I realized they were doing them. They were either too ill, or passed away like a month later.Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.com
