Description This is something I've been wanting to try for a while - a straight recreation (as opposed to the mash-up cover recreations I've done in the past) of the cover of one of the comics that helped change me into a comic fan as a kid.

In this case, Batman and the Outsiders #1 - a great premiere cover from 1983.

The original cover was created by Jim Aparo, copyright DC Comics

Here is the original cover: img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20…

I haven't read this comic, but I remember having seen the cover somewhere, and this is a fantastic recreation! Also, I love how Jim Aparo used to draw Batman!

The Outsiders?  The Justice League?  I think Batman needs to check his head on whom he's calling 'two-bit'.

Nice! For me The Outsiders always took a back seat to The Legion and Titans. For some reason I still bought the book every month. Can't argue that Aparo was the the reason there. Black Lightning and Halo were pretty cool too! Good work on this recreation!

Yeah for someone who talks a lot of shit about the League Batman sure does crawl back to them whenever his team of sidekicks end up dying horribly.

This is one series I only got into when it was The Outsiders by themselves, but I really may have to read the original run, such a cool cover choice you chose.

I never really got into it (I was more of a Marvel guy, so Teen Titans and Legion were my DC group mainstays).  But I love Jim Aparo's Batman.

Jim Aparo was great on Batman, he sometimes get lost and forgot, but his work still stands up.

Especially the Brave & the Bold work he did in the early 70s before he started doing less detail.

I don't think I have read any of those, still a lot of comics I haven't got around to reading.
