About this Collection

This omnibus collects the second half of the Bronze Age run of The Brave and the Bold, featuring team-ups between Batman and a wide array of DC heroes from the 1970s and early 1980s. The volume includes issues #156–200 of the original series, showcasing the dynamic artwork of Jim Aparo and others, with stories that range from classic Silver Age-style adventures to more character-driven tales. It's a comprehensive look at Batman's role as the Dark Knight Detective in an era of creative experimentation and expanded DC Universe continuity.

In "A Very Special Spy!", Batman teams up with the Spectre to stop a wave of seemingly ordinary citizens committing bizarre murders—only to uncover a chilling truth: they’re possessed by the spirits of a forgotten WWII construction crew, loyal followers of the Far Eastern goddess Kali. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with dynamic art by Jim Aparo, this story blends wartime mystery with supernatural dread, all wrapped in a striking cover by Karl Kerschl and Jim Aparo.
