Welcome back to another exciting discussion of the Silver Age! This week we look at The Brave and the Bold #25 (1959), written by Bob Kanigher, with art by Ross Andru and colors by Mike Espositio. This particular issue of the Brave and the Bold introduces the Suicide Squad! Although the inaugural Squad does not feature any supervillains due to the strict rules of the Comics Code Authority, it does its best to live up to its name. Featuring a team of average servicemen, with no superpowers, the Suicide Squad attempts dangerous missions to alleviate their surprisingly similar surviror’s guilt. Sent on a series of deadly missions, with almost no chance of survival, the fan-favorite Rick Flag leads his team to stop the threats facing Earth. Will the Squad be able to stop the Red Wave of Communism? Or will the space monster destroy the city? Find out how all these questions are related and more by tuning in to this week's episode of Make Mine Paperback!
