Best of the Brave and the Bold – DC Comics – (1988–1989) – #1–6

📘 Series Summary

Released in 1988, Best of the Brave and the Bold is a 6-issue Deluxe Format miniseries that serves as a curated retrospective of one of DC's most enduring anthology titles. This series masterfully bridges the two distinct eras of the original run: the 1950s historical adventure period and the legendary 1960s/70s Batman team-up era. Each issue pairs a high-octane Silver Age superhero crossover with rare tales of "heroes of yore" from the title’s earliest installments.

The collection is a "Who's Who" of legendary comic talent. The lead stories feature the quintessential Batman team-up art of Neal Adams, while the backup features showcase the meticulous historical illustration of Joe Kubert and Russ Heath. From the first time Batman teamed up with the Creeper to the ancient trials of the Viking Prince, this miniseries provides a high-quality "New Format" printing of stories that were, at the time, difficult to find in back-issue bins. With stunning new covers by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, this set is the perfect entry point for collectors wanting to experience the peak of DC's anthology heritage.

⭐ Why This Series Stands Out

  • Features Deluxe Format production with superior paper and coloring, breathing new life into classic 1950s and 60s artwork.
  • Collects some of the most sought-after Neal Adams Batman team-ups, including his work with Green Arrow, Aquaman, and the Teen Titans.
  • Represents the definitive historical adventure work of Joe Kubert (The Viking Prince) and Russ Heath (The Silent Knight).
  • Includes Batman’s strangest team-up ever: a meeting with the House of Mystery (#5), originally from issue #93.
  • Features brand-new, iconic wraparound covers by the master of DC style, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez.
  • A self-contained 6-issue set that acts as a "Greatest Hits" for one of the most important titles in DC history.
