Flavio:
You're kidding, right?
I like Bill just fine as an artist, but as an inker he takes WAAAAAAY too many liberties. His work over Jim Aparo for the last decade or so is an example of that.

Weeeell...Jim Aparo is another thing...I always thought he was doing
breakdowns and Bill S. was being called on to make it look hot.
Still looks like Aparo, though.
But every now and then I take out the "Gehenna Stone" six-parter Buscema
and Skwz did with Wolverine and I just marvel at it.

NOPE...Jim was doing FULL PENCILS. I've got some unpublished pages that were done for GCPD and copies of the pencils for a Batman fill-in that Jim did that Bill inked, and those are FULL PENCILS...Bill was taking mucho-liberties with the inking.
Maybe it would have been better if it was breakdowns?
And, I'll disagree that Bill's inks over John Buscema looked like Big John's artwork. I don't think it did.

I believe you, Matt! I do think some of his work over Aparo looked good,
though.

Some examples from the Buscema/Skwcz team-up, just 'cause they were
handy:

What book were Aparo & Sienkiewicz working on?

IIRC, this cover was their first collaboration (one of my favorites).
S. was paired with Aparo a few years later on a regular basis on the Batman main title.

Amen. I was very disappointed, from a pure visual standpoint, by the Galactus: The Devourer miniseries because I realised at the time that it could potentially be one of the final times that John Buscema drew the Silver Surfer, and here we has Sienkiewicz totally obliterating Buscema's penciling.

Aparo and Sienkiewicz worked on one issue of Green Arrow (#109 I think), the four issue GCPD miniseries, TWO issues of the regular BATMAN title, and a few pin-ups in some of the Batman pin-up books along the way, also an issue of AQUAMAN that Erik Larsen wrote, and, their last work together, was the cover to "THE BRAVE AND BOLD" when DC did that horrible "SILVER AGE" event.
