“The Smile of Choclotan!”

Deep in a rocky canyon, Batman and Wildcat crouch warily as a massive, looming shadow falls over them — while a group of terrified figures scramble away in the background, prompting the cover's urgent question: "What can be scaring them off?" Nick Cardy's cover art captures the tense pairing of DC's two scrappy brawlers perfectly, framing an outdoor mystery adventure with real atmosphere. This September 1971 issue of The Brave and the Bold is a genuinely satisfying package, pairing the Batman/Wildcat team-up with a bonus origin story of Deadman — plenty of reading for a quarter.
