September/October 1974, Adventure Comics #435, Page #2, Jim Aparo pencils/inks/letters, "The Man Who Stalked the Spectre", complete 13 page story,
This incredible series written by Michael Fleisher and drawn by Jim Aparo, which ran from Adventure Comics #431 to #440, was notorious for its gruesome depictions of the Spectre's poetic retributions against criminals; In this issue, Fleisher introduces a reporter named Earl Crawford who interacts with Jim Corrigan aka the Spectre; Jim Corrigan refers to Crawford as "Clark Kent, mild-mannered reporter", owing to Crawford's vaguely similar appearance (tall, dark hair and spectacles); In fact, in this story, a uniformed officer asks Crawford "Gee, are you really Superman?";
All thirteen pages are signed by Jim Aparo on the lower margins outside the art area; I'm very excited to be able to obtain this historic and classic Bronze Age story drawn by the incomparable Jim Aparo;
