Aventures Fiction #55
"Le macabre Baron Tyme" is a standout entry in the Doom Patrol saga, written by Arnold Drake and illustrated with striking precision by Bruno Premiani, whose inks lend the story a haunting, cinematic weight. When Madame Rouge orchestrates a deadly campaign targeting both the Brotherhood of Evil and the Doom Patrol—killing the Brain and Mallah before trapping the heroes on a Caribbean island—she forces them into an agonizing choice between their own lives and the safety of an innocent town in Maine. The cover, a dynamic collaboration by Jim Aparo and Joe Kubert, captures the tension with bold, expressive lines, making this 1977 5,00 FRF issue a must-have for fans of classic superhero drama.

Madame Rouge plans to eliminate both the Brotherhood of Evil and the Doom Patrol. She bombs the Brotherhood's headquarters, killing the Brain and Mallah, then she attacks the Doom Patrol. They survive, but the attacks are endangering others in the city, so they move to a new base on a Carribean island. Rouge and her ally Captain Zahl, an old enemy of the Chief's, trap them with weapons that rob them of their powers. They are given a choice: either allow themselves to be blown up, or the villains will blow up a small town in Maine. The heroes heroically choose to sacrifice themselves.
