Description
I recently volunteered to highlight art with Bill on the CAF Update, and the process of looking through all the art posted for a week yielded three purchases I was absolutely delighted with. This one was a pure nostalgia buy. I had this issue and as a stand-alone it was the perfect story to re-read endlessly.

The story kicks off immediately, and I love the little crossword dialogue. Kalindra's glasses are immediately captivating and who can resist a skunk stripe on a forward fox? Not this Pepe Le Pew.

This page may have to be read dramatically. The dialogue is wonderfully over the top. The Bridge! We'll be KILLED! Worry not, m'lady...

Not to mention the Ebon night.

Do you believe in fate? I do, now.

I'm not sure why there is glue residue over the image in the 7th panel - I checked this against the published image and it's identical, so it might have been some zip over the Specter to give him an ethereal feel.

This page tickles me silly.

Everybody's takin' a brand new glance now
(Come on pick me comic art devotion)
I know you'll get to like ten if you give it a chance now
(Come on baby Corrigan in motion)

My little baby Snorek can do it with ease
It's easier than posting on CGC's
So come on, come on, ink the Hoberg oceans with me

The Spectre takes round trips now
Come on baby, jump out, jump tracks
Well, Ross Andru got the knack, ohh

Now that you can claim them, let's make a frame now
(Come on baby use the coco lotion)
Chug-a Kalindra like a railway train now
(Come on baby do the locomotion)

Do it nice and easy now for Brave and Bold
A little bit of rhythm and a lot of flow
So come on, come on, do the locomotion with me

I wish more women would wear glasses like Kalindra's.  I can see why Jim Corrigan pulled the old "ask for help with a crossword puzzle and then have your spectral aspect save the train" move to get her attention.

Love these old Brave & the Bold art pages.  Great trips down memory lane.  Congrats.

Andru's compositions are always so dynamic - and the worm's-eye view angle in the top panel is a great example. The Spectre pose is perfect (and I think you're right about stain from zipatone). Nice page!
