The Brave And The Bold #169, published by DC in December 1980, presents a classic team-up between Batman and Zatanna. In “Angel of Mercy, Angel of Death!”, the heroes investigate a faith healer who has been kidnapped by a mob boss, forcing them to confront the blurred lines between genuine abilities and deception. The issue also includes a backup story, “The Council Calls for Death,” featuring Nemesis, which delves into the mystery surrounding Ben Marshall's murder. This Bronze Age comic is notable for its engaging character pairing and continuation of the Nemesis storyline.
