As a young teen in the early 1970's, reading Batman comic books, one of my favorite artists from that period was Jim Aparo. He had a very distinct art style that you could notice right away. He worked on many different DC Comics at that time. I used to really love a vintage comic book titled BATMAN FAMILY. It only existed for a few years ( 1975 to 1978 ) but is now considered a classic. It featured Batman but the main focus was all of his various sidekicks: Robin, Batgirl, Alfred, Jim Gordon, Batwoman ( Kathy Kane ), Man-Bat, The Huntress, & even Ace, The Bat-Hound! Shown here is the original comic book art for BATMAN FAMILY #14...a beautiful ART Masterpiece! Be sure to click on the small image up above for a larger, more detailed, version. Thanks to Stan for sending us this wonderful picture. Do YOU own any original Batman art? If so then please send it in to the Bat-Blog so we can share with other Batman Fans, thanks.

Great piece of art! I grew up reading those Batman Family books.
I have this issue! It's my first and only issue of "Batman Family," but I loved it. I had never heard of Batwoman until I found this at a local comic shop. And art by the late, great Jim Aparo, the definitive Batman artist.
I also like Aparo's Batman artwork.
