365 Days of DC House Ads, Day 55

House ad for The Brave and the Bold #23 (April-May 1959); printed in Lois Lane #8 (April 1959)
Ad designed and lettered by Ira Schnapp

Panels from the Viking Prince story "The Figurehead of the Burning Sea!" in The Brave and the Bold #23 (April-May 1959)
But that ad does not do justice to the cover of B&B 23 (hey, that rhymes!), not simply because of its great Joe Kubert pencils and inks, but the absolutely beautiful color washes by Jack Adler that gives it the brilliant, shaded tones that make many of the 1960s DC comics absolutely beautiful:
