The Courageous and the Bold used to be a droll e-book created as a healthful leisure for younger readers, those that possess been now procuring for censored Comics Code-current comics, that is. The foundation used to be straightforward: rep three feature characters for the title, sort them historical. Even the Comics Code would pass a diminutive bit of historical mayhem. Golden Gladiator used to be considered among the characters, along with Viking Prince and the Restful Knight. Of the three Golden Gladiator must no longer possess attracted powerful attention, despite some aesthetic (as fashionable) dynamic art work by Russ Heath. The Courageous and the Bold #6 used to be the closing look of the Golden Gladiator.
On this tale from The Courageous and the Bold #2 (1955), we’re urged that Golden Gladiator is correct in the ring. We don’t rep to peek the bodies piled up as leisure, but we rep the gist of it. Golden Gladiator’s lady friend, Lucia, cheers for him, whereas her uncle, “Wily Cinna,” hates Marcus (the Gladiator’s trusty title).
I wondered if Attila the Hun and his hordes possess been spherical in the route of the heyday of the Romans, after which learn this on-line: “Attila the Hun used to be considered one of basically the most fearsome enemies that Romans ever confronted.” For me, that will be a historical past lesson in a single straightforward sentence. What bought my attention in the tale used to be that Attila took on the Gladiator by himself, whereas surrounded by his have military, then saved banging along with his sword an iron bracelet on the Gladiator’s wrist, which must possess been given to Golden Gladiator by an ancestor of Wonder Lady.
Ed Herron wrote the tale.
