Ashok Desai

Stepping onto the page in the very first issue of the relaunched Doom Patrol in 1987, Ashok Desai is a Copper Age DC creation born from the collaborative vision of Paul Kupperberg and Steve Lightle. With only a handful of catalog appearances — including a spot in the prestigious Who's Who: Update '87 — he's a rare and intriguing figure from a landmark moment in DC history, sharing pages with iconic company like Robotman, Cliff Steele, and Dr. Niles Caulder. For collectors who love hunting down the overlooked corners of a beloved franchise's fresh start, Ashok Desai is exactly the kind of discovery that makes digging through back issues so rewarding.
