Nemesis was a nice little back-up strip in
Brave And The Bold, from an era when DC really produced some great back-up serials, another fave being the
Whatever Happened To...? stories in
DC Comics Presents.
It fitted perfectly in
B & B, though could've just as easily ran in
Detective Comics, with it's hard boiled narration and mysterious hero who owed a little bit to
The Human Target. Plus Nemesis was played by Doug McClure, which is always good.
Cary Burkett's scripts are tight and expertly pulpy, and Dan Spiegle contributes pitch-perfect artwork.
The only thing really wrong with
Nemesis is that it took away pages that Batman, and Jim Aparo, could be using, but it was so good, I didn't mind too much.
Besides, we all know what a gracious host Bats is, so it wasn't long before he and Nemesis teamed up anyway. Here's the first story.
