The Brave and the Bold #181

Dec 1981 · DC · 0.60 USD; 0.20 GBP
“Time, See What's Become of Me...”

In "Time, See What's Become of Me...", the Penguin pulls off a bizarre heist using marching penguin puppets to divert attention while stealing an antique sword—only to be foiled by a surprisingly effective distraction: Hostess Fruit Pies planted by the police. A classic odd-couple clash of absurdity and precision, this 1981 tale from Curt Swan and Vince Colletta delivers a quirky, visually sharp adventure, with Jim Aparo’s cover capturing the moment with flair.
