Brilliant “remastering”. Seriously. Was hipped to your work when you did a remaster of B&B 112. Now, this, more recent, bit of remastering appeared on the Aparo site and… wow. What’d really be great would be seeing a book’s worth of your remastering work on a lot of Jim Aparo’s covers. ‘Til then, I’ll keep an eye peeled for more work right here (B&B issues 113, 114, 115 and 117 are really in need of it; as are Aparo’s Detective Comics covers 440, 441, 442, 443, 444 and 445). As the natives here in Australia say: Goodonya!
Thanks, Dorman. Appreciate the kind words.
If/when I find scans of the other 100-page B&B cover art, I’ll be happy to turn them into full-cover versions. I do have scans of a couple of the Detectives, but they’re too low-res and blurry to work with.
