The Brave and the Bold #117

This 1975 issue of The Brave and the Bold packs remarkable value into a single package, pairing Batman and Sgt. Rock in the lead story "Nightmare Without End" alongside bonus features spotlighting the Secret Six, Viking Prince, Blackhawk, and Green Arrow. The cover — by Jim Aparo, Nick Cardy, and Joe Kubert — dramatizes a tense confrontation: Sgt. Rock aims his rifle at a ghostly, masked figure while Batman crouches nearby on a motorcycle, with the dialogue "Stop, Rock! You executed that coward once — you can't kill his ghost!" setting an eerie, suspenseful tone. Writer and artist Bob Haney and Jim Aparo bring their reliable chemistry to the main story, making this an especially generous slice of mid-70s DC adventure.
