The Brave and the Bold #32
In "The City 100 Miles Down, Chapter 1," the Brave and the Bold introduces a gripping underground mystery as Cave and his crew race against time in the Mighty Mole, pursued by an artificial sun engineered by the enigmatic Xanon. With Bernard Baily handling both the interior art and cover, this 1960 DC classic delivers a tense, visually striking adventure rooted in early sci-fi suspense—written by Ed Herron and lettered by Stan Starkman.
In the depths of a forgotten cavern, Cave Carson and his team uncover a dying alien and a mysterious city beneath the earth, its glowing sphere casting long shadows over a civilization desperate to escape a creeping gas. As tensions rise between factions led by the enigmatic Xanon and the cautious alien elders, the crew finds themselves caught in a struggle where survival may demand unthinkable choices.
Arhun rallies his cave beasts to strike back at Xanon’s forces as the Underworlders descend on the city, unleashing chaos. With Bulldozer freed from captivity, the tide turns—only for Xanon, now on the run, to command his men to activate the artificial sun’s full power.
In "Chapter 3: The Mole vs. the Enemy Sun," Alrud and his crew fight to survive beneath the surface as Xanon’s artificial sun relentlessly pursues them. With Alrud captured and Xanon poised to ascend with his deadly plan, Cave must use the Mighty Mole’s thermo-ray to confront the sun’s overwhelming power—before it’s too late.
