"Brave Deed" in The Best of DC #49 (1984) delivers a whimsical twist on teenage responsibility, as Stanley’s secret monster trouble reaches a fever pitch when the leprechauns betray him to the Institute of Monster Research. Written by Howard Post and illustrated by Henry Scarpelli, the story follows Stanley’s panic as his parents discover the truth—only for the whole ordeal to unravel as a dream upon waking. The cover by Jim Engel and Chuck Fiala captures the tale’s playful, surreal tone.
