☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume collects the earliest adventures of the Doom Patrol, DC's original misfit superhero team, as they debuted in the 1960s. Led by the brilliant but mysterious Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief), the team includes Robotman (Cliff Steele), Negative Man (Larry Trainor), and Elasti-Girl (Rita Farr), facing bizarre threats like General Immortus, Monsieur Mallah, and the Brain. Part of the DC Finest line, this edition gathers the team's strangest early stories that established their reputation as the world's weirdest heroes.
In "The Doom Patrol [Chapter 1]," Beast Boy shares the origins of his transformation—his childhood illness, his father’s experimental reverse evolution ray, and the lasting changes it wrought. Now part of the Doom Patrol, the team must confront Dr. Weir, who has stolen the same technology to turn lizards into mind-controlled dinosaurs and carry out a string of robberies. Written by Arnold Drake and illustrated by Bruno Premiani, with lettering by Stan Starkman, this issue features a cover by Bob Brown.

Beast Boy recounts his origin for the Doom Patrol, how he contracted a rare disease as a child and his father used his reverse evolution ray to cure him, but with the side effects of his skin turning green and gaining the ability to change into any animal. The Doom Patrol realizes that Dr. Weir has stolen the secret of reverse evolution from Beast Boy and is using that to turn lizards into dinosaurs which he controls to commit robberies.
