Best of the Brave and the Bold Comics Lot
Featuring Batman w/ Green Arrow, The Flash, Aquaman, The Creeper, The House Of Mystery & the Teen Titans! Awesome!!
In 1955, an adventure anthology comic debuted from DC Comics featuring some of the best art and stories of the day. Since it featured the adventures of such heroes of yore as The Silent Knight, The Viking Prince, The Golden Gladiator and Robin Hood, the comic was aptly titled The Brave & The Bold. In the 1960s, the format of B&B changed to feature team-ups of DC super-heroes until, with B&B #74, Batman became permanent guardian of the title, appearing with a host of guest stars over the next 126 issues. Now DC re-presents some of the best of the best from the pages of The Brave & The Bold in this 6-issue Deluxe Format mini-series. Leading off the series is the classic team-up of Batman and Green Arrow from B&B #85, written by Bob Haney and featuring the art of longtime Brave & Bold penciller Neal Adams. Rounding out the book are a trio of stories from the earliest days of the title, including a tale of The Golden Gladiator, with art by Russ Heath, Joe Kubert’s Viking Prince (both from B&B #1), and The Silent Knight, also by Heath (from B&B #5). These masterworks from the past are surrounded by all-new covers on front by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez and on back by Andy Kubert.

Colorist: Petra Scotese
In the year 964 AD, Norwegian fisherman Captain Olaf comes upon a young lad floating on a log at sea. He brings him aboard his vessel, but the youth has no memory of his true name or identity. Olaf and his men bring the youth to shore, where a man named Sardluk the spy watches them from afar. Sardluk recognizes the blond haired lad and reports back to his master Baron Thorvald. Thorvald is animated when he hears the news and orders his men to kill the boy. Sardluk’s soldiers raid Captain Olaf’s home, but the man fights back, ensnaring the soldiers with Olaf’s fishing nets. He then picks up a stray sword and injures Sardluk. The boy has no idea why he is so proficient with a blade. Sardluk and his men run off, but promise to return to finish the job. Captain Olaf’s daughter Gunnda is so impressed with the boy’s bravery that she names him Jon the Viking Prince, after a famed Viking hero. A few days later, Baron Thorvald learns that Olaf’s men have put to sea, and orders his dragon ship to give chase. As the dragon ship overtakes Olaf’s fishing vessel, Jon has the Captain load him onto a spring-loaded harpoon and fire him across to the other ship. Once on board, Jon swings across the mast, then tears through one of the sails with his sword. He fights valiantly against the Viking warriors, forcing Baron Thorvald to flee by diving off his own ship. Jon is concerned that the Baron had information concerning his true identity and fears that he will never learn the truth about his own mysterious past.

“The Thunder of the Chariots!”
Writer: Ed Herron
Artist: Russ Heath
Colorist: Petra Scotese
In ancient Rome, a shepherd named Marcus stares into a fountain. From behind him, a centurion named Cinna ambushes Marcus and brings him before the Praetor Clodius Crassus. He accuses Marcus of trying to assassinate Crassus, even though it was actually Cinna and his men who tried to murder him. Marcus however, proves to be an apt patsy to cover up for Cinna’s crimes. Praetor Clodius orders Marcus thrown into the slave galley. Aboard the galley, a Nubian lion escapes from his cage and begins attacking the crew. Marcus wrenches his slave chains from their moorings and uses them as a weapon against the lion. The ship’s overseer is so impressed with Marcus’ fighting prowess that he recommends him for gladiatorial combat. Marcus is brought back to Rome where he is forced to fight in the arena. His opponent Caius ensnares Marcus with a net then charges at him with his trident. Marcus is injured, but manages to catch the spear and turn it back upon his foe. The Praetor rules to spare Caius’ life so that he can “burn with rage” against Marcus. Cinna makes Marcus fight a second time – this time against a charging bull. Cinna deliberately arms him with a faulty spear, hoping that the bull will kill him. The bull indeed breaks Marcus’ spear, but the former shepherd still succeeds in conquering the beast. Marcus’ next challenge is a chariot race. He races against a fellow gladiator named Cotta, and manages to unseat him with a hearty toss from his shield. Marcus manages to win the race, and is granted his freedom.

Jon, the young man with no memory of his past, and who was given the name Viking Prince by his adopted fishing village home, leads the villagers in a session of swordplay. Chief Olaf compliments him on his skill, but Jon only wishes he could remember where he learned it from. Olaf’s lovely daughter, Gunnda, asks him to teach her as well. She soon proves to be a fast learner, as Gunnda disarms Jon after only a few training lessons. Meanwhile, away in his castle, the Earl Thorvald plans an attack on the village and the Viking Prince, whom Thorvald secretly knows to be the true heir to the throne. A ship is launched out towards the village. Dawn strikes by the time it is noticed by the villagers out on the sea horizon. Jon takes some men out in a small fishing boat out to investigate, and finds the ship to be completely abandoned. Thinking the ship to be cursed, he dives over the side and cuts the anchor, allowing the vessel to float back out to the sea. While underwater he notices round, open portholes lining the bottom of the ship. But a shark attacks before he can investigate further, so Jon must fight it off with his sword. Later that night, back on the mainland, the village is struck by burning arrows, setting many homes aflame! While the villagers quell the fires, Gunnda notices the ship has returned on the horizon. Jon once again takes a small boat of men out to investigate and, just as before, finds the ship’s deck is abandoned. But this time during his search, he notices his footsteps on the wooden planks of the deck have an echo, as if it were hollow underneath. He finds a trapdoor and opens it, to see a hidden compartment that has been flooded with water, and filled with sharks like the one that attacked him. The men then report to him that the village is under attack! Jon figures out yhe attackers used the ship to sneak up on the village, and then they would open the underwater portholes and exit towards the beach unseen beneath the waves. Jon steers the ship towards the beach, though he knows not how the sailing skill came to him. Jon and the others join in the defense of their homes, with Thorvald’s men falling to the skills Jon has taught them. Soon, Jon spots the Earl himself and charges through to get to him. When he finally reaches Thorvald, they begin dueling with swords, though the mighty Earl seems flustered and untrained. Suddenly, the mask falls off and “Thorvald” turns out to be a mere stranger whom the Earl has paid to dress like him. The battle is won, but Jon is forlorn. He confides in Gunnda that he wishes he knew why Thorvald sought his destruction, and she replies that they will find out, someday.

Marcus visits his home village and sees that all the houses have their doors and windows bolted shut. Marcus finds an old member of the village council and asked what’s going on. The old man tells him that word was received about the impending arrival of Crassus the Conqueror, who was on his way to loot the sacred treasures of their temple. The men of the village are out in their fishing vessels, so it’s up to Marcus to figure out a way to stop Crassus and his men. The children that were just previously play-sword fighting in the road, decide they want to help Marcus stop the bad guys. As Marcus stands vigil over the sea, watching for ships, the children approach him with their offer of aid. He was apprehensive of the idea at first, not wanting to risk the children’s lives, but they persisted, and Marcus finally agrees. He first sends young Flavius, whose father fashions model boats, to fetch him one. Then Marcus asks Augustus, the son of a tailor, to sew a sail for the boat. Cassius is sent to get a kettle of embers from his father’s smithy. An enemy ship draws near as the kids return with the items. Marcus takes the small model boat and opens it up to pour the burning embers inside. Then attaching the sail, Marcus sends the small boat on a collision course with the enemy vessel. Thinking it’s just a child’s toy, the men aboard the ship don’t pay any mind to the model boat until it crashes into them, the embers within setting the ship on fire, causing it to sink! Their victory is short-lived, though, for Cotta, the sheep herders son comes running, he saw Crassus and the invaders preparing an assault through the mountain pass. Thinking quickly, Marcus tells the children to strap a shield and sword on the side of each of the sheep and march them across the path on the side of the mountain above the pass. The clanging of the swords against shields as the herd moves along creates an effective illusion of armed soldiers, fooling the invaders below into thinking they are outnumbered and scaring them into retreat. All but Crassus who is not fooled by the maneuver. Marcus pounces on him and they draw swords. His time in the arena has honed Marcus’ skill and he easily overpowers Crassus and defeats him. The conqueror is taken prisoner. Back at the village the people cheer for Marcus and the children, their “wall of courage”.

Caius was a ruthless collector of all things gold. From stolen gold sculptures, to a gold-colored steed whose rider met an unfortunate “accident”. But his collection isn’t complete as the devious Cinna tells him, the greatest warrior in Rome, the Golden Gladiator is not yet his. In the arena, Marcus fights against his latest challenger, as Cinna and Caius watch. He defeats his opponent and walks over to Lucia, Cinna’s lovely daughter, and tosses his laurel wreath to her. Impressed, Caius agrees that his collection won’t be complete until Marcus, the Golden Gladiator, is in his possession. A few days later, Marcus travels to the pine grove after receiving a note from Lucia to meet her there. It is actually a trap set by Caius, who throws a net around Marcus while his hired thugs beat him into unconsciousness. When he awakens, Marcus finds himself in a hidden arena, with Caius watching over him from the box seat. He has Lucia with him and says if Marcus doesn’t fight for him, she will suffer for it. The contender is a two-man chariot team with one wielding a battleaxe. Lucia calls the fight unfair since Marcus is on foot armed only with a sword, but Caius replies that if he is the Gladiator King, it should be his duty to “defend his throne”, and that if he is not the best then he has no place in his collection and should be destroyed. Marcus strikes with his sword, but one of the riders counters, cutting the blade in two with his axe! As the horses are brought around again, Marcus readies himself. He grabs the horses by their front reigns and with his strength, steers them around until the attached chariot overturns, dumping the riders out. Marcus then rights the chariot and drives it near the box so that Lucia can hop in and escape with him. Against Caius’ screams of rage, Marcus crashes the chariot through the gates and manages to dodge the arrows of the archers. He and Lucia then make their way back to Rome…

Marcus wrenches his slave chains from their moorings and uses them as a weapon against the lion. The ship’s overseer is so impressed with Marcus’ fighting prowess that he recommends him for gladiatorial combat. Marcus is brought back to Rome where he is forced to fight in the arena. His opponent Caius ensnares Marcus with a net then charges at him with his trident. Marcus is injured, but manages to catch the spear and turn it back upon his foe. The Praetor rules to spare Caius’ life so that he can “burn with rage” against Marcus. Cinna makes Marcus fight a second time – this time against a charging bull. Cinna deliberately arms him with a faulty spear, hoping that the bull will kill him. The bull indeed breaks Marcus’ spear, but the former shepherd still succeeds in conquering the beast. Marcus’ next challenge is a chariot race. He races against a fellow gladiator named Cotta, and manages to unseat him with a hearty toss from his shield. Marcus manages to win the race, and is granted his freedom.

Jon, the young man with no memory of his past, and who was given the name Viking Prince by his adopted fishing village home, leads the villagers in a session of swordplay. Chief Olaf compliments him on his skill, but Jon only wishes he could remember where he learned it from. Olaf’s lovely daughter, Gunnda, asks him to teach her as well. She soon proves to be a fast learner, as Gunnda disarms Jon after only a few training lessons. Meanwhile, away in his castle, the Earl Thorvald plans an attack on the village and the Viking Prince, whom Thorvald secretly knows to be the true heir to the throne. A ship is launched out towards the village. Dawn strikes by the time it is noticed by the villagers out on the sea horizon. Jon takes some men out in a small fishing boat out to investigate, and finds the ship to be completely abandoned. Thinking the ship to be cursed, he dives over the side and cuts the anchor, allowing the vessel to float back out to the sea. While underwater he notices round, open portholes lining the bottom of the ship. But a shark attacks before he can investigate further, so Jon must fight it off with his sword. Later that night, back on the mainland, the village is struck by burning arrows, setting many homes aflame! While the villagers quell the fires, Gunnda notices the ship has returned on the horizon. Jon once again takes a small boat of men out to investigate and, just as before, finds the ship’s deck is abandoned. But this time during his search, he notices his footsteps on the wooden planks of the deck have an echo, as if it were hollow underneath. He finds a trapdoor and opens it, to see a hidden compartment that has been flooded with water, and filled with sharks like the one that attacked him. The men then report to him that the village is under attack! Jon figures out yhe attackers used the ship to sneak up on the village, and then they would open the underwater portholes and exit towards the beach unseen beneath the waves. Jon steers the ship towards the beach, though he knows not how the sailing skill came to him. Jon and the others join in the defense of their homes, with Thorvald’s men falling to the skills Jon has taught them. Soon, Jon spots the Earl himself and charges through to get to him. When he finally reaches Thorvald, they begin dueling with swords, though the mighty Earl seems flustered and untrained. Suddenly, the mask falls off and “Thorvald” turns out to be a mere stranger whom the Earl has paid to dress like him. The battle is won, but Jon is forlorn. He confides in Gunnda that he wishes he knew why Thorvald sought his destruction, and she replies that they will find out, someday.

He and Lucia make their getaway back to Rome, with Attila’s broken sword now in Marcus’ possession. The Emperor praises Marcus victory, while Cinna scowls in the background as Lucia and Marcus kiss.

Marcus visits his home village and sees that all the houses have their doors and windows bolted shut. Marcus finds an old member of the village council and asked what’s going on. The old man tells him that word was received about the impending arrival of Crassus the Conqueror, who was on his way to loot the sacred treasures of their temple. The men of the village are out in their fishing vessels, so it’s up to Marcus to figure out a way to stop Crassus and his men. The children that were just previously play-sword fighting in the road, decide they want to help Marcus stop the bad guys. As Marcus stands vigil over the sea, watching for ships, the children approach him with their offer of aid. He was apprehensive of the idea at first, not wanting to risk the children’s lives, but they persisted, and Marcus finally agrees. He first sends young Flavius, whose father fashions model boats, to fetch him one. Then Marcus asks Augustus, the son of a tailor, to sew a sail for the boat. Cassius is sent to get a kettle of embers from his father’s smithy. An enemy ship draws near as the kids return with the items. Marcus takes the small model boat and opens it up to pour the burning embers inside. Then attaching the sail, Marcus sends the small boat on a collision course with the enemy vessel. Thinking it’s just a child’s toy, the men aboard the ship don’t pay any mind to the model boat until it crashes into them, the embers within setting the ship on fire, causing it to sink! Their victory is short-lived, though, for Cotta, the sheep herders son comes running, he saw Crassus and the invaders preparing an assault through the mountain pass. Thinking quickly, Marcus tells the children to strap a shield and sword on the side of each of the sheep and march them across the path on the side of the mountain above the pass. The clanging of the swords against shields as the herd moves along creates an effective illusion of armed soldiers, fooling the invaders below into thinking they are outnumbered and scaring them into retreat. All but Crassus who is not fooled by the maneuver. Marcus pounces on him and they draw swords. His time in the arena has honed Marcus’ skill and he easily overpowers Crassus and defeats him. The conqueror is taken prisoner. Back at the village the people cheer for Marcus and the children, their “wall of courage”.

Caius was a ruthless collector of all things gold. From stolen gold sculptures, to a gold-colored steed whose rider met an unfortunate “accident”. But his collection isn’t complete as the devious Cinna tells him, the greatest warrior in Rome, the Golden Gladiator is not yet his. In the arena, Marcus fights against his latest challenger, as Cinna and Caius watch. He defeats his opponent and walks over to Lucia, Cinna’s lovely daughter, and tosses his laurel wreath to her. Impressed, Caius agrees that his collection won’t be complete until Marcus, the Golden Gladiator, is in his possession. A few days later, Marcus travels to the pine grove after receiving a note from Lucia to meet her there. It is actually a trap set by Caius, who throws a net around Marcus while his hired thugs beat him into unconsciousness. When he awakens, Marcus finds himself in a hidden arena, with Caius watching over him from the box seat. He has Lucia with him and says if Marcus doesn’t fight for him, she will suffer for it. The contender is a two-man chariot team with one wielding a battleaxe. Lucia calls the fight unfair since Marcus is on foot armed only with a sword, but Caius replies that if he is the Gladiator King, it should be his duty to “defend his throne”, and that if he is not the best then he has no place in his collection and should be destroyed. Marcus strikes with his sword, but one of the riders counters, cutting the blade in two with his axe! As the horses are brought around again, Marcus readies himself. He grabs the horses by their front reigns and with his strength, steers them around until the attached chariot overturns, dumping the riders out. Marcus then rights the chariot and drives it near the box so that Lucia can hop in and escape with him. Against Caius’ screams of rage, Marcus crashes the chariot through the gates and manages to dodge the arrows of the archers. He and Lucia then make their way back to Rome…
