The Brave and the Bold #180

Batman and the Spectre face a truly fearsome threat in this 1981 team-up — the cover by Jim Aparo puts both heroes in the crushing grip of a massive octopus-like Dragon God, while a long-bearded sorcerer looms nearby brandishing a glowing scepter. Aparo's dynamic linework perfectly captures the chaos and scale of the confrontation, with the ghostly Spectre swooping in from above as Batman struggles below. Writer Michael Fleisher and colorist Adrienne Roy round out a creative team that makes this supernatural adventure hard to pass up.
