Jim Beard Read Every Issue of The Brave and the Bold… So You Don’t Have To!

Breaking Bold and Brave: A Fan's Journey Through One of Comics' Greatest Titles 

For immediate release

From 1956 to 1983 The Brave and the Bold stood as one of DC Comics’ core titles, a series that spanned multiple eras and popularized the very concept of the “team-up,” the joining of forces of superheroes, monsters, and more! It also introduced such superstars as the Silver Age Hawkman, Metamorpho, and the Justice League of America! It was a magazine like no other!

Now, writer-editor Jim Beard offers up observations and opinions on the book fans fondly call “B&B” as he journeys through every story, character, and creator of its legendary 200-issue run! Be prepared for fun, facts, and whatever strikes his fancy on a very personal and personable comic book odyssey!

Breaking Bold and Brave includes dossiers on all 200 issues of The Brave and the Bold plus Super DC Giant #S-16 and DC Special Series #8, as well as essays on many aspects of the book’s history, such as eras, editors, try-out team-ups, and, of course, Batman and Bob Haney! It also features a Foreword by comics legend and B&B scribe Paul Kupperberg and a Q&A with B&B writer Alan Brennert! B&B SEEING YOU!
