The Brave and the Bold #133

This April 1977 team-up from DC's The Brave and the Bold pairs Batman and Deadman against what looks like explosive chaos — Jim Aparo's cover captures both heroes surging forward as a warplane streaks overhead and massive blasts erupt across a bomb range, with a stark "Danger: Bomb Range" sign half-buried in the carnage. Deadman's ghostly white face and red costume crackle with spectral energy above a grimly determined Dark Knight, perfectly setting the tone for a story teased as "A Dead Man's Revenge… From Beyond the Grave!" Aparo handles the full art and lettering duties here, and his dynamic, kinetic linework makes this one of those covers that genuinely earns its dramatic tagline.
