The Brave and the Bold #157

Dec 1979 · DC · 0.40 USD
“Time... My Dark Destiny!”

In "Time... My Dark Destiny!", Superman faces a cosmic threat when an alien UFO hurtles toward a mountain, but with a clever twist, he tunnels ahead to redirect the collision. The story captures a rare moment of whimsy as the children who first make contact with the aliens surprise them with Twinkies—delivering a sweet, unexpected first impression. Art by Curt Swan and Vince Colletta brings the scene to life, while Jim Aparo’s cover captures the eerie spectacle of the alien craft against the mountain peak.
