Yes, it is sort of too bad about Aparo leaving the Outsiders; his work was nearly perfect for the comic. Before you jump out any windows, though, I suggest taking a look at his replacement: Alan Davis! Yes, the marvelous artist on Warrior's Marvelman! His sense of composition and drama is extraordinary, his technical skill abundant. Although Alan Moore certainly has something to do with it, Davis' art is really what makes Marvelman the most gripping superhero series being published. I have no doubt that Davis will be a worthy successor to Aparo. I'm very much looking forward to future issues of the Outsiders. By the way, in case anyone didn't know, BATO is becoming DC's third dual-distribution book this summer, following the (unsuccessful, if you ask me) lead of Teen Titans and the Legion. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University Computation Center ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
