A defining era of bold, unpredictable, Bronze Age adventure—where Batman becomes the DC Universe’s ultimate partner-in-crimefighting. This is the experimental, character-driven heart of the Brave and the Bold legacy—restored in full, oversized detail.

During the height of late-’60s and early-’70s Batmania, The Brave and the Bold transformed into DC’s boldest laboratory—pairing the Dark Knight with heroes from every corner of the universe. Across these issues, Batman teams with Wonder Woman, Deadman, Sgt. Rock, the Teen Titans, Metamorpho, Black Canary, the Spectre, Aquaman, Green Arrow, and many more, with stories that blend espionage, supernatural mystery, sci-fi spectacle, and street-level detective work.

Written by Bob Haney, Mike Sekowsky, and Denny O’Neil, and illustrated by Bronze Age icons Neal Adams, Jim Aparo, Ross Andru, Nick Cardy, and Irv Novick, these stories represent one of the most creatively fearless chapters in DC’s history.

Collects The Brave and the Bold #74-106—and includes a foreword by Robert Greenberger.
Born in 1926, Bob Haney grew up in Philadelphia and entered the comics field in 1948, writing war, crime, and western stories for a wide variety of publishers. Haney is perhaps best known for his role in the creation of Metamorpho, Eclipso and the Teen Titans, his long runs on Batman and Robin, Suicide Squad, Tomahawk and Mystery in Space, and his contributions to DC's line of war comics.

A self-taught artist, Jim Aparo first attempted to break into the industry in the early 1950s at the legendary E.C. Comics group. When E.C. rejected his work, Aparo turned to advertising art in his native Connecticut, where he specialized in illustrating newspaper fashion ads while continuing his efforts to work in comics. His dream was finally realized in 1966 when Charlton Comics editor Dick Giordano hired him to draw a humorous character called Miss Bikini Luv in Go-Go Comics. Sharpening his skills on such features as the Phantom, Nightshade, Wander and Thane of Bagarth, Aparo followed Giordano to DC Comics in 1968 where he quickly gained notice for his smooth, realistic style on such titles as Aquaman, The Brave and the Bold, The Phantom Stranger, The Spectre, The House Of Mystery, The House Of Secrets, Batman, Detective Comics, and Batman and the Outsiders. An artist whose work is still considered a high-water mark for the industry, Aparo died on July 19, 2005. View titles by Jim Aparo
