The Brave and the Bold #192

Batman and Superboy share the spotlight in this 1982 team-up from DC's long-running The Brave and the Bold, with a cover by Jim Aparo that puts the duo right in the thick of the action. Batman is mid-grapple with a purple-clad villain brandishing a glowing weapon, while Superboy swoops in from above — the cover's twin speech bubbles playfully teasing "This looks like a job for… …Superboy?!?" hint at the generational twist writer Mike W. Barr has in store. Colorist Adrienne Roy's bold palette and Aparo's sharp linework make this an appealing snapshot of classic DC storytelling.
