THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD 63, December 1965/January 1966, was published on October 21, 1965. It contained 32 pages for the cover price of 12¢. George Kashdan was the editor, and the cover was pencilled by John Rosenberger, according to Mike's Amazing World Of DC Comics. But according to the Grand Comic Book Database, Jim Mooney was the artist. Mike's Amazing World Of DC Comics credits Jim Mooney as the inker. I also share a brief history of this title, including its evolution into a Batman team-up book, with DC superheroes other than Superman.

Wow! It's always a wild ride with "Zany" Haney, isn't it? So much twisted "pretzel logic" that absolutely will not stand up to scrutiny. So much completely out-of-character behavior by well-established characters. So many unexplained "violations" of long-standing elements of "comic book science" (like using gold, rather than lead, to block kryptonite radiation). I can certainly understand why many fans dislike Haney's work, but, if you're in the right frame of mind, his stories can be taken as just silly, zany, almost imaginary stories. They're cotton candy for the mind --- not very nourishing, really, and a steady diet of them couldn't be very good for you, but a fun treat from time to time.
ReplyDeleteI always try to laugh with, not at, the crazier silver age stories, but this was a hard one to do that with, especially with his portrayal of women. But it can be fun to just appreciate their craziness, most of the time.
