Santo versus the Vampire Women. 1962 Lucha Libre versus voluptuous vamp in glorious rubber bat gothic. Wonderfully wild. The world needs more Santo.

It is Christmas Eve and Gotham City is gripped by fear.

Random citizens are turning into killers; they don masks and start murder sprees for no apparent reason.

Tim Drake attempts to solve the case on his own to prove to himself and The Batman that he is worthy to wear the Robin costume.
Tim Drake stands in the batcave and looks at the Robin costume in a glass display. Overhead the ghosts of Dick Grayson and Jason Todd hang in front of the large shadow of The Batman. - Batman #456, Nov 1990 by Alan Grant, Norm Breyfogle and Steve Mitchell.

If you're a fan of the artist, the eagerly awaited Jim Aparo book from TwoMorrows is now available for pre-order!

twomorrows.com/index.php?ma...
176-page FULL-COLOR HARDCOVER - by Eric Nolen-Weathington & Jim Amash For a generation of comic-book readers, Jim Aparo is considered the greatest Batman artist of them all. Aparo—with his strong, dynamic style, well-grounded in realism—together with Batman made a team worthy of the title, The Brave and the Bold. But before that team-up book, he made a name for himself on such series as Aquaman, the controversial “Spectre,” and the mysterious Phantom Stranger, and is considered by many to be the definitive artist for each. Now, the team of Jim Amash and Eric Nolen-Weathington (editors of Matt Baker: The Art of Glamour; Carmine Infantino: Penciler, Publisher, Provocateur; and Sal Buscema: Comics’ Fast and Furious Artist) turn the Bat Signal on the life and work of one of comics’ finest! From his time in the world of advertising art, at Charlton Comics on Nightshade and The Phantom, through the heyday of the ’70s, and beyond the death of Robin, Aparo’s career is finally given the attention it so richly deserves. The book is lavishly illustrated with Aparo’s work, including many rare and previously-unpublished pieces. Includes an introduction by award-winning artist Alan Davis, and a new Aparo cover inked by Mike DeCarlo!

Hot dang! There's a new HEART ACRES installment to soothe your doldrums. It's smoother than hot butter! (I don't know what that means: honestly I've had too much caffeine)
Anyway, 55 installments, now, & they're all as free as hot butter! (gotta stop drinking coffee)
