The Brave & The Bold Index Part 18
Fun facts: Part 1
Errata, Additional
and Supplemental
The Golden
Gladiator appeared in an issue of Swamp
Thing in its controversial time-travel story arc: controversial in that the
story in which Swampy met with Jesus of Nazareth was not allowed to be published.
Cave Carson
does not appear in Showcase #100.
Although it does not claim to include every character appearing in the
magazine, a one-panel appearance (as was done with such obscure characters as
Jason, Firehair and Manhunter 2070) could have been done. Cave has appeared in
cameos in issues of Wonder Woman and JSA.
The Golden
Gladiator, Silent Knight and the Viking Prince appeared in All Star Squadron #54 as part of the line-wide cross-over
mini-series Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Cave Carson
appears in Crisis on Infinite Earths #11. Rick Flagg and the Suicide Squad do not! It’s the only group or character from B&B
that is not involved in the mini-series.
It has been
established that the Silent Knight is one of the many reincarnations of Carter
Hall in the fourth Hawkman
series. The “ghost” of the Silent Knight
appeared in the comic to battle his former B&B co-star. One presumes Shiera
Hall is therefore the fair Lady Celia!
Final Tally
Batman
starred in Brave & Bold in 134
issues, appeared in two cameos (in the first two Teen Titans stories –
including their first team-up without the TT logo), and appeared in three
issues with the Justice League of America, for a total of 139 issues.
Other
characters have appeared several times – adding JLA appearances definitely
helped. Flash appeared in 13 issues;
Hawkman appeared in 11 issues, six of which were his solo stories; Green Arrow
and Wonder Woman each appeared in 10 issues; and Metal Men, Aquaman and Green
Lantern appeared in 9 issues.
The
following DC characters appeared in B&B and did not team-up with
Batman: Martian Manhunter (although he
appeared with Batman in the JLA stories), Doom Patrol, Johnny Cloud and the
Haunted Tank.
