I got this issue of BRAVE AND THE BOLD while out on a shopping trip with my Mom and brothers. It came from an unfamiliar and irregular outlet, so my selection was limited, which somewhat explains the choice. I was iffy on B& B (it was still one of those series that read “weird” to me”) … Continue reading BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #137
I bought this issue of BRAVE AND THE BOLD while my Mother was out doing household errands one day with the family. I know I got it in an unfamiliar candy store and that its selection was due as much to the limited offerings at hand as anything else. But I can recall flipping through … Continue reading BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #134
There was a little candy store a door or two down from the barber shop where I’d go to get my hair cut. They carried a small selection of comic books–not many, as I recall, and also not that current. It was there after one such head-shearing that I purchased this issue of BRAVE AND … Continue reading BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #130
Direct from the 7-11 came this next issue of SUPER-TEAM FAMILY, a giant-sized reprint series that was very much my meat during my early collecting days. Every issue featured team-up stories between different heroes, so here we get Batman and Eclipso and Superman and Superboy, all wrapped up in a fairly uninspired cover by Ernie … Continue reading BHOC: SUPER-TEAM FAMILY #5
An odd choice of series to co-feature, but this creepy cover makes it all work. Poor kid.
BRAVE AND THE BOLD wasn’t really my book of choice, so I’m guessing that it was the 100-Page format that made the difference in this case. Either way, this got picked up at the 7-11 (by this point, the little post-Church candy store had stopped stocking comics–I had gotten in right at the very end.) … Continue reading BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #115
I’m pretty certain that this issue of BRAVE AND THE BOLD came from one of those 3-Bags that were sold in supermarkets and department stores. I can’t imagine that I would have chosen it for myself–but as with the LOIS LANE issue earlier, there don’t seem to be any other comics that would have shared … Continue reading BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #110
This whole issue of THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD is loony, and it all begins with this Jim Aparo cover. Not only are Sgt. Rock and Batman in the same story (despite the different eras in which their adventures typically take place), but the Rock is firing ineffectively at a figure who casts a demonic … Continue reading Great Covers – BRAVE AND THE BOLD #108
BRAVE AND THE BOLD #28 March, 1960 This is why it pays to know Mark Waid. It was Thursday morning at the 2000 Comic Con International–San Diego, and I was walking the floor before the auditorium opened. Mark beckoned me over to a table where he was shopping, “Hey, have you ever tried these guys?" … Continue reading BHOCOS: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #28
