THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD EASTER EGG TOUR

Back in 1967, right when the Batman TV show was everywhere, The Brave and the Bold locked into a simple formula: Batman plus whoever else showed up that month. Starting with issue #74 and running all the way to the final issue #200 in 1983, the Dark Knight shared every page with a rotating cast of DC heroes (and the occasional villain). Sixteen straight years of team-ups.

In issue #177 (1981), longtime B&B artist Jim Aparo started slipping a quiet visual hint into each story. No big announcement, just a little Easter egg pointing to who would guest-star next. This tour is me hunting down every single one of those clues.

Grab a seat and enjoy the ride!

THE RICHIE RICH TOUR OF CHARACTERS

When I first started reading comic books, I was wide open to just about every genre you could name. Superheroes, humor, westerns, you name it, and I dove in. Over time, I settled mostly into the cape-and-cowl stuff, especially the DC side of things. But in the mid-1970s I still had a soft spot for that poor little rich boy who, at the time, was Harvey Comics’ number-one seller. So open this blog, travel back a few decades with me, and take a tour through the many fun characters who made up the world of Richie Rich.
