American Comics Update: The Midas Collection: 3 1950s issues of The Brave & The Bold with Kubert Viking Prince
*DC: Also from the Midas Collection this week. Growing up in the UK in the 1960s, you could be forgiven for thinking that Brave & Bold was another try-out title like Showcase, and indeed it was then, but it started life for the first 24 issues with a name that explained its title, with heroes from history/legend. Issue #11, featured here, starred Robin Hood, the Silent Knight and, most notably, Joe Kubert’s Viking Prince. By the time we got to the final two issues in this vein, #23 & #24, the superb art of Kubert had taken over entirely as the whole of those last two issues was filled with wonderful Viking Prince stories.
