The Brave and the Bold #76

Neal Adams delivers a vertigo-inducing cover for this 1968 team-up, showing Batman gripped and hauled skyward by Plastic Man's elongated, coiling limbs as a mysterious figure perches atop a towering skyscraper, firing an energy weapon. The title "Doom, What Is Thy Shape?" hints at the wonderfully strange threat these two very different heroes must face together — and pairing the Dark Knight with the rubbery Plastic Man makes for an irresistible odd-couple dynamic. Written by Bob Haney with interior art by Mike Sekowsky and Jack Abel, this is The Brave and the Bold at its imaginative, genre-bending best.
