The Brave and the Bold #85
In "The Senator's Been Shot!", Batman and Green Arrow—both in their civilian identities—face a brutal assault by the enigmatic Miklos Minotaur, forcing them to confront whether their roles as heroes are truly making a difference. Written by Bob Haney and brought to life with intense, dynamic art by Neal Adams (pencils and inks), this 1969 issue explores the personal cost of heroism with a grounded, character-driven edge. The cover by Neal Adams captures the tension perfectly, setting the stage for a story that questions the very foundation of the superhero ideal.
