The Brave And The Bold #178 1981

The Brave And The Bold #178, published by DC in September 1981, features two stories. In 'Paperchase,' Batman and the Creeper battle a paper monster targeting minorities, uncovering a larger conspiracy. The backup, 'The Bitter Choice!,' sees Nemesis facing a deadly heart device implanted by Samuel Solomon. This issue is notable as it carries the last 50-cent cover price for the series. The main story, with art by Jim Aparo, is dedicated to Creeper's creator, Steve Ditko.
