Garfield Logan

Garfield Logan contracted a rare illness as a child that his scientist parents cured using an experimental serum derived from green monkeys — leaving his skin, hair, and eyes permanently green and granting him the ability to shapeshift into any animal. He later joined the Doom Patrol as Beast Boy.

Few characters in DC's long history have proven as enduringly beloved as Garfield Logan, who burst onto the Silver Age scene in 1965's The Doom Patrol #99, conjured into existence by the imaginative team of Arnold Drake and Bob Brown. Over an astonishing six decades of publication — from 1965 all the way to 2026 — he's racked up 419 catalog appearances and 21 key issues, a track record that speaks to a character who genuinely resonates across generations of readers. He's most at home in The New Teen Titans and Titans, sharing pages with luminaries like Dick Grayson, Raven, Starfire, and Koriand'r — an A-list of DC's finest — while his appearances in Tiny Titans prove he's just as welcome in the lighter, all-ages corner of the DCU. If you're building a serious DC collection, Garfield Logan is absolutely essential reading.
