My Greatest Adventure 80 (Facsimile Edition) #[nn]
In this facsimile edition of My Greatest Adventure 80, writer Arnold Drake and Bob Haney introduce the original Doom Patrol in a story that sets the tone for one of DC’s most unconventional teams. The Chief gathers three individuals marked by trauma and transformation, each with a past defined by near-fatal escapes, and tasks them with their first mission: defusing a bomb. Bruno Premiani’s expressive art and Stan Starkman’s crisp lettering bring the eerie, grounded tone to life, while the cover by Drake and Premiani captures the group’s unsettling beginnings.
