This is not.  Aparo did the Phantom Stranger, Aquaman, and Red Tornado chapter in that book.  This panel does look like like Aparo, though.


Assuming we are all correct that it is Jim Aparo, my guess is that the panel in question comes from here:

I love Gil Kane.  this thread could be retitled "Covers that make you want to buy the comic!"  Looking through these I have not seen a single dud in the batch!

Gil Kane was one of the greats!  He retained an excellent illustrative style right until his untimely end.

I feel very fortunate that I got to "visit" with him on three separate occasions at conventions before he passed away.  He was a gentleman in the real sense of the word.  Gil's easily one of my "top 10" favorite creators that I've met over the years.

I kept missing Kane's work.

I loved his Green Lantern when I was a kid in the 60s, but I stayed a die-hard
DC fan thru the 70s while he had switched over to Marvel.
And then I stopped buying DC (for the most part) in the late 70s, missing
Kane's return to DC and his work on Superman.

I *did* pick up his Sword of the Atom, tho, which looked great.

And since then I've picked up a couple of those jumbo-sized annuals (DC
Presents, GL), but not his run on Action. I'll need to find out which issues he
did the interiors on and start rifling thru the Quarter Bins.

That really was a great run he had on Action Comics.

Curt Swan and Gil Kane on Superman was just great.
