The Brave and the Bold #65

From 1966, this Brave and the Bold team-up pairs the Flash — depicted here in a striking triple-image blur of red-suited speed — with the Doom Patrol, "The World's Strangest Heroes," for a story titled "Alias Negative Man!" The cover by Bruno Premiani crackles with Silver Age energy: a massive disembodied hand reaches toward the speeding scarlet hero, a menacing gorilla operates a control panel beside a launching rocket, a wheelchair-bound figure is bound in chains, and a yellow-clad Doom Patrol member bursts through a crumbling wall — all while a villain's speech bubble taunts that Negative Man has been sent into outer space forever. Bob Haney's script and Dick Giordano's interior art promise exactly the kind of offbeat, high-stakes adventure this cover so vividly sells.
