The Brave and the Bold #61

In "Mastermind of Menaces!", the enigmatic Mist resurfaces with a bizarre new scheme, turning Dinah Drake’s floral shop into a front for his hypnotic crimes. When Starman steps in to stop him, the villain finds a clever way to neutralize the hero’s signature Gravity Rod—leaving the battle of wits and willpower hanging in the balance. Written by Gardner Fox and brought to life by Murphy Anderson’s sharp art and Gaspar Saladino’s crisp lettering, this 1965 classic showcases a clever twist on a classic villain’s tactics, all wrapped in a cover by Anderson that captures the eerie elegance of the Mist’s latest scheme.
