I am thinking how fun a Brave and Bold Archives would be, just the team-up issues. There were some great ones like the Flash and Doom Patrol, Martian Manhunter and Green Arrow, I believe; and of course, the Batman ones. I also think the Haney 1970s Batman issues with Aparo art were fantastic.

That Sgt. Rock hunting Hitler issue, the Atom inside Batman's brain issue, and the Spectre issues were among the best ever--not to mention the Wildcat and the first Batman team-up with The Joker issue. That is still one of the best comics ever produced.

Personally, I doubt there's more than a couple volumes of really good teamup stories in the whole run.

Manhunter & Green Arrow was pretty bad, IMO. and the good ones, like those drawn by Neal Adams, and the Batman/Joker you mention have already been reprinted. Another classic, the Alex Toth Flash/Atom has also been reprinted.

Out of curiosity, are ther a lot of you out there who would buy an archive series reprinting all the teamups?

Yup. I'll buy the team-ups, at least until the Haney/Boltinoff nuttiness overwhelms my love of Jim Aparo. If that's possible.

I would definitely buy an archive reprinting the team up issues. It was my favorite comic growing up and Jim Aparo is my favorite artist. It would be great to see these in archive format but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Having recently got a motherload of back issues of B&B on ebay last year, I doubt I'd get an archive. I probably have about 50 issues left to sell as the large lot (over 100 books included a good number I had).

I think this stuff will inevitably be archived--and I think it should be, too.
But I'm in no hurry.
