DeZuniga and Williams (only 3 pages!!) are definitely in the list of rare JB inkers.
Bob Wiacek, though, after having worked with JB on Hulk, She-Hulk, Namor, MTU, New Gods and Alpha Flight can't possible be considered as rare!!
That Beast above certainly looks nice! It appears to be an older JB drawing inked years later by Williams, or am I off my mark?

I'm probably in the minority here, but I really liked the melding ot JB with Jim Aparo.  It's rare when you can see both artists' style shining through with neither really being dominant.  Artisitcally speaking, that one issue they did together is probably my favorite version of Batman.

It's a crying shame that the Byrne/Aparo pairing didn't last beyond one issue. It was gorgeous.

Kevin-I agree wholeheartedly re: the JB/Aparo combo. So sad that we
only got one issue of it.

Thanos-You're right about Wiacek. My bad.

I dig Bob Wiacek's inks over JB's pencils, too.

What was Marvel thinking when they put Ororo in that outfit? She already had the perfect costume!

I'd have to agree on the Byrne/Aparo combo.... so distinctly both of them...

I liked Keith WIlliams inks on JB on a few issues of Action Comics.

Keith was doing background inks on Action, if memory serves. He did full inks on some She-Hulk issues after JB returned to the title.

Yep, it's old but I love how the combination looks.

I'd have loved to see Paul Ryan inking more of JB's stuff, myself.  I think he only did the final issues of JB's West Coast Avengers, but their styles meshed really well.  Ryan could have been a superstar as an inker, if he'd gone that route.
