About NASA Messenger with some history
The last time anything man-made got this close to the planet Mercury was the NASA probe Marinar 10 back in 1974 through 1975.

The complete article with photographs, graphics and an outline program of the Nasa Mesenger program is here.

Jim Aparo : Brave and The Bold VOlume 2

Jim Aparo Batman
Jim Aparo book THE ART OF JIM APARO was
announced in 2005 by twomorrows publishing.

DC Comics has come out with a second volume collection of old Brave and the Bold comics. Part of their low budget black and white "Showcase" series, this book is priced retail at $16.99 USD - or $11.95 USD from amazon.com. It's a "phone book" style tome, and uses pretty cheap newsprint paper, which is interesting because all the comics in this volume were originally printed on that fairly awful newsprint paper in days of yore.

This particular volume has a lot of the early Aparo Batman work (also some nice Nick Cardy art, too). Aparo is only just coming into his 1970s style, and in these pages you can see his compositional strengths are pretty much established, but his detailed inking work has yet to begin to streamline (the most recent art printed in the book is from 1973.)

Super popular 1930s movie actress, not completely unknown in 2008 but something near it. Look at that amazing hat.
