So, I'm off from work today, my other job is iced out, I'm all caught up on the TiVo...so it's time to
wallow in the
sheer insanity that is
The Brave And The Bold Special (a.k.a. DC Specials Series #8)(1978), the
Greatest.
Comic.
Book.
Ever.
I've already regaled you with the general outline (not to mention
Batman's declaration that "
Ghetto people don't own boats!"
But this story is
37 pages of
Haney insanity, and we've barely scratched the surface.
Take for example, Batman's hunt for the mad bomber plaguing
Gotham. The guy keeps leaving notes with clues, sending
GCPD and Batman on frantic hunts. The latest note leads them to evacuate all playgrounds. But...

Please note how, in the very next panel,
Ric Estrada and
Dick Giordano completely
change the position of the see-saw, making this next
Looney Tunes stunt possible...



But
will Batman escape the bomb??


So,
how did Batman avoid getting blowed up?

That's right...he's faster than
Mercury! Take that,
SHAZAM!!
To be continued...
