American Comics Update: The Midas Collection: The Brave And The Bold #1 (1955)
*DC: The Brave And The Bold is a DC title that went through a lot of changes in its 200 issue strong run. Featuring the debuts of the Suicide Squad, Justice League of America, Cave Carson, the Silver Age Hawkman, the Teen Titans, Metamorpho and more, in a phase when it rivalled Showcase as DC’s try-out venue, it went on to become a team-up title, first teaming characters from across the DCU, then featuring a Batman team-up for most of its run. But the first 24 issues featured a range of adventure heroes from legend, starting here with #1, starring The Golden Gladiator (art by Russ Heath), the Viking Prince (art by Joe Kubert) and the Silent Knight (art by Irv Novick). A low grade copy of this inaugural issue from 1955 from the Midas Collection.

Edge wear with small nicks front and back. Staples firm at centrefold and (beneath tape) at spine. Supple off-white pages and corner blunting.
