"The Doom Patrol" in DC Special Blue Ribbon Digest #19 (1982) brings together three outsiders—each marked by a near-fatal ordeal and a life of isolation—summoned by the enigmatic Chief. Written by Arnold Drake and Bob Haney, with expressive art by Bruno Premiani and bold inks by the same, the story unfolds as the Chief recruits them for a dangerous mission: defusing a bomb. The cover, a striking collaboration by George Pérez and Frank Giacoia, captures the team’s uneasy beginnings in a single, dynamic image.
