Comics With a Theme: Brave and the Bold #148

The theme for this suggested reading is, of course, the holidays. Prepare some hot cocoa and sit next to a large window as the snow heavily falls outside. Put on your favorite festive playlist, grab that cozy blanket, and get ready to enjoy the mystery of "The Night the Mob Stole X-Mas!" Happy holidays to all!

The Brave and the Bold #148
"The Night the Mob Stole X-Mas!"
Cover by Jim Aparo, Tatjana Wood
(December, 1978)

As Batman tries to find a bootleg ring smuggling tobacco into Gotham City, and Plastic Man deals with loneliness and lack of direction during the holidays, the famous Lacey's Department Store X-Mas display suddenly vanishes. From snowy Gotham to sunny Florida, will the Caped Crusader and the Sleuth of a thousand shapes be able to recover this symbol of the spirit of Christmas before the most magical night of the year is ruined?
